Prerequisites

This section lists what you need to consider before installing Docker EE. Items that require action are explained below.

• Use {{ linux-dist-cap }} 64-bit 7.3 or higher on RHCK 3.10.0-514 or higher.
• Use the devicemapper storage driver only (direct-lvm mode in production).
• Find the URL for your Docker EE repo at Docker Hub{: target="blank" class="" }.
• Uninstall old versions of Docker.
• Remove old Docker repos from /etc/yum.repos.d/.
• Disable SELinux if installing or upgrading Docker EE 17.06.1 or newer.

Architectures and storage drivers

Docker EE supports {{ linux-dist-long }} 64-bit, versions 7.3 and higher, running the Red Hat Compatible kernel (RHCK) 3.10.0-514 or higher. Older versions of {{ linux-dist-long }} are not supported.

On {{ linux-dist-long }}, Docker EE only supports the devicemapper storage driver. In production, you must use it in direct-lvm mode, which requires one or more dedicated block devices. Fast storage such as solid-state media (SSD) is recommended. Do not start Docker until properly configured per the storage guide{: target="blank" class="" }.

Find your Docker EE repo URL

{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="find-ee-repo-url" %}

Uninstall old Docker versions

The Docker EE package is called docker-ee. Older versions were called docker or docker-engine. Uninstall all older versions and associated dependencies. The contents of /var/lib/docker/ are preserved, including images, containers, volumes, and networks.

$ sudo yum remove docker \
                  docker-engine \
                  docker-engine-selinux
