Docker

Setup instructions

Supported hosts

Right now, the officially supported hosts are:

  • Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal)

Hosts that might work with slight kernel modifications, but are not officially supported:

  • Ubuntu 12.04 (precise)

Step by step host setup

  1. Set up your host of choice on a physical / virtual machine

  2. Assume root identity on your newly installed environment (sudo -s)

  3. Type the following commands:

    apt-get update apt-get install lxc wget debootstrap --arch=amd64 quantal /var/lib/docker/images/ubuntu/

  4. Download the latest version of the docker binaries (wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20637798/docker.tar.gz)

  5. Extract the contents of the tar file tar -xf docker.tar.gz

  6. Launch the docker daemon ./dockerd

Client installation

  1. Download the latest version of the docker binaries (wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20637798/docker.tar.gz)
  2. Extract the contents of the tar file tar -xf docker.tar.gz
  3. You can now use the docker client binary ./docker. Consider adding it to your PATH for simplicity.
