title: Get Docker for Fedora
---
To get started with Docker on Fedora, make sure you
[meet the prerequisites](#prerequisites), then
[install Docker](#install-docker).
## Prerequisites
### Docker EE customers
Docker EE is not supported on Fedora. For a list of supported operating systems
and distributions for different Docker editions, see
[Docker variants](/engine/installation/#docker-variants).
### OS requirements
To install Docker, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Fedora versions:
- 24
- 25
### 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 dnf remove docker \
docker-common \
container-selinux \
docker-selinux \
docker-engine
```
It's OK if `dnf` reports that none of these packages are installed.
The contents of `/var/lib/docker/`, including images, containers, volumes, and
networks, are preserved. The Docker CE package is now called `docker-ce`.
## Install Docker CE
You can install Docker CE 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
{% assign download-url-base = "https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora" %}
1. Install the `dnf-plugins-core` package which provides the commands to manage
your DNF repositories from the command line.
```bash
$ sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
```
2. Use the following command to set up the **stable** repository:
```bash
$ sudo dnf config-manager \
--add-repo \
{{ download-url-base }}/docker-ce.repo
```
3. **Optional**: Enable the **edge** repository. This repository is included
in the `docker.repo` file above but is disabled by default. You can enable
it alongside the stable repository. For information about **stable** and
**edge** builds, see
[Docker variants](/engine/installation/#docker-variants).
```bash
$ sudo dnf config-manager --enable docker-ce-edge
```
You can disable the **edge** repository by running the `dnf config-manager`
command with the `--disable` flag. To re-enable it, use the
`--enable` flag. The following command disables the **edge** repository.
```bash
$ sudo dnf config-manager --disable docker-ce-edge
```
#### Install Docker CE
1. Update the `dnf` package index.
```bash
$ sudo dnf 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
`060A 61C5 1B55 8A7F 742B 77AA C52F EB6B 621E 9F35` and if so, accept the
key.
2. Install the latest version of Docker, or go to the next step to install a
specific version.
```bash
$ sudo dnf install docker-ce
```
> **Warning**: If you have multiple Docker repositories enabled, installing
> or updating without specifying a version in the `dnf install` or
> `dnf update` command will always install the highest possible version,
> which may not be appropriate for your stability needs.
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, and 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.
```bash
$ dnf list docker-ce.x86_64 --showduplicates |sort -r
docker-ce.x86_64 17.03.0.fc24 docker-ce-stable
```
The contents of the list depend upon which repositories are enabled, and
will be specific to your version of Fedora (indicated by the `.fc24` suffix
on the version, in this example). 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
its stability level. To install a specific version, append the version
string to the package name and separate them by a hyphen (`-`):
```bash
$ sudo dnf -y install docker-ce-<VERSION>
```
4. Start Docker.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
5. Verify that Docker CE 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 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 CE
To upgrade Docker, first run `sudo dnf 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 Docker's 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 [{{ download-url-base }}/7/x86_64/stable/]({{ download-url-base }}/7/x86_64/stable/)
and download the `.rpm` file for the Docker version you want to install.
> **Note**: To install an **edge** package, change the word
> `stable` in the > URL to `edge`.
2. Install Docker, changing the path below to the path where you downloaded
the Docker package.
```bash
$ sudo dnf -y install /path/to/package.rpm
```
3. Start Docker.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
4. Verify that Docker CE 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 CE 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
To upgrade Docker, download the newer package file and repeat the
[installation procedure](#install-from-a-package), using `dnf -y upgrade`
instead of `dnf -y install`, and pointing to the new file.
## Uninstall Docker
1. Uninstall the Docker package:
```bash
$ sudo dnf remove docker-ce
```
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
```
You must delete any edited configuration files manually.
## Next steps
- Continue to [Post-installation steps for Linux](linux-postinstall.md)
- Continue with the [User Guide](../../userguide/index.md).
