title: Get Docker for Oracle Linux
---
To get started with Docker on Oracle Linux, make sure you
[meet the prerequisites](#prerequisites), then
[install Docker](#install-docker).
## Prerequisites
### Docker EE repository URL
To install Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE), you need to know the Docker EE
repository URL associated with your trial or subscription. To get this information:
- Go to [https://store.docker.com/?overlay=subscriptions](https://store.docker.com/?overlay=subscriptions).
- Choose **Get Details** / **Setup Instructions** within the
**Docker Enterprise Edition for Oracle Linux** section.
- Copy the URL from the field labeled
**Copy and paste this URL to download your Edition**.
Use this URL when you see the placeholder text `<DOCKER-EE-URL>`.
To learn more about Docker EE, see
[Docker Enterprise Edition](https://www.docker.com/enterprise-edition/){: target="_blank" class="_" }.
Docker Community Edition (Docker CE) is not supported on Oracle Linux.
### OS requirements
To install Docker, you need the 64-bit version of Oracle Linux 7 running the
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 (4.1.12) or higher.
The [OverlayFS2 storage driver](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/storagedriver/overlayfs-driver/) is only supported
when running the UEK4.
### Uninstall old versions
Older versions of Docker were called `docker` or `docker-engine`. If these are
installed, uninstall them, along with associated dependencies.
```bash
$ sudo yum remove docker \
docker-common \
container-selinux \
docker-selinux \
docker-engine
```
It's OK if `yum` reports that none of these packages are installed.
The contents of `/var/lib/docker/`, including images, containers, volumes, and
networks, are preserved. The Docker EE package is now called `docker-ee`.
## Install Docker EE
You can install Docker in different ways, depending on your needs:
- Most users
[set up Docker's repositories](#install-using-the-repository) and install
from them, for ease of installation and upgrade tasks. This is the
recommended approach.
- Some users download the RPM package and install it manually and manage
upgrades completely manually. This is useful in situations such as installing
Docker on air-gapped systems with no access to the internet.
### Install using the repository
Before you install Docker for the first time on a new host machine, you need to
set up the Docker repository. Afterward, you can install and update Docker from
the repository.
#### Set up the repository
1. Remove any existing Docker repositories from `/etc/yum.repos.d/`.
2. Store your EE repository URL in `/etc/yum/vars/dockerurl`. Replace
`<DOCKER-EE-URL>` with the URL you noted down in the
[prerequisites](#prerequisites).
```bash
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "<DOCKER-EE-URL>" > /etc/yum/vars/dockerurl'
```
3. Install `yum-utils`, which provides the `yum-config-manager` utility:
```bash
$ sudo yum install -y yum-utils
```
4. Use the following command to add the **stable** repository:
```bash
$ sudo yum-config-manager \
--add-repo \
<DOCKER-EE-URL>/docker-ee.repo
```
#### Install Docker EE
1. Update the `yum` package index.
```bash
$ sudo yum makecache fast
```
If this is the first time you have refreshed the package index since adding
the Docker repositories, you will be prompted to accept the GPG key, and
the key's fingerprint will be shown. Verify that the fingerprint matches
`77FE DA13 1A83 1D29 A418 D3E8 99E5 FF2E 7668 2BC9` and if so, accept the
key.
2. Install the latest version of Docker EE, or go to the next step to install a
specific version.
```bash
$ sudo yum -y install docker-ee
```
3. On production systems, you should install a specific version of Docker
instead of always using the latest. List the available versions.
This example uses the `sort -r` command to sort the results by version
number, highest to lowest. The output is truncated.
> **Note**: This `yum list` command only shows binary packages. To show
> source packages as well, omit the `.x86_64` from the package name.
{% assign minor-version = "17.03" %}
```bash
$ yum list docker-ee.x86_64 --showduplicates |sort -r
docker-ee.x86_64 {{ minor-version }}.0.el7 docker-ee-stable
```
The contents of the list depend upon which repositories you have enabled.
Choose a specific version to install. The second column is the version string.
The third column is the repository name, which indicates which repository the
package is from and by extension extension its stability level. To install a
specific version, append the version string to the package name and separate
them by a hyphen (`-`):
```bash
$ sudo yum -y install docker-ee-<VERSION_STRING>
```
4. Start the Docker daemon.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
5. Verify that `docker` is installed correctly by running the `hello-world`
image.
```bash
$ sudo docker run hello-world
```
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
Docker EE is installed and running. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker
commands. Continue to [Linux postinstall](linux-postinstall.md) to allow
non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration
steps.
#### Upgrade Docker EE
To upgrade Docker EE, first run `sudo yum makecache fast`, then follow the
[installation instructions](#install-docker), choosing the new version you want
to install.
### Install from a package
If you cannot use the official Docker repository to install Docker, you can
download the `.rpm` file for your release and install it manually. You will
need to download a new file each time you want to upgrade Docker.
1. Go to the Docker EE repository URL associated with your
trial or subscription in your browser. Browse to
`7/x86_64/stable-{{ minor-version }}/Packages` and download the `.rpm` file
for the Docker version you want to install.
2. Install Docker EE, changing the path below to the path where you downloaded
the Docker package.
```bash
$ sudo yum install /path/to/package.rpm
```
3. Start the Docker daemon.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
4. Verify that Docker EE is installed correctly by running the `hello-world`
image.
```bash
$ sudo docker run hello-world
```
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
Docker EE is installed and running. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker
commands. Continue to [Post-installation steps for Linux](linux-postinstall.md)
to allow non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional
configuration steps.
#### Upgrade Docker EE
To upgrade Docker EE, download the newer package file and repeat the
[installation procedure](#install-from-a-package), using `yum -y upgrade`
instead of `yum -y install`, and pointing to the new file.
## Uninstall Docker EE
1. Uninstall the Docker EE package:
```bash
$ sudo yum remove docker-ee
```
2. Images, containers, volumes, or customized configuration files on your host
are not automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and
volumes:
```bash
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
```
> **Note**: If you are using the `btrfs` graph driver, you will need to manually
> remove any subvolumes that were created by the Docker Engine before removing the
> rest of the data.
> Review the [Oracle Linux 7 Administrator Guide](http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54669/html/ol7-use-case3-btrfs.html)
> for more information on how to remove btrfs subvolumes or see the output of
> `man btrfs-subvolume` for information on removing `btrfs` subvolumes.
You must delete any edited configuration files manually.
