|
|
|
To get started with Docker Engine on RHEL, make sure you
|
|
[meet the prerequisites](#prerequisites), and then follow the
|
|
[installation steps](#installation-methods).
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> We currently only provide packages for RHEL on s390x (IBM Z). Other architectures
|
|
> are not yet supported for RHEL, but you may be able to install the CentOS packages
|
|
> on RHEL. Refer to the [Install Docker Engine on CentOS](centos.md) page for details.
|
|
|
|
### OS requirements
|
|
|
|
To install Docker Engine, you need a maintained version of one of the following
|
|
RHEL versions:
|
|
|
|
- RHEL 7 on s390x (IBM Z)
|
|
- RHEL 8 on s390x (IBM Z)
|
|
- RHEL 9 on s390x (IBM Z)
|
|
|
|
### Uninstall old versions
|
|
|
|
Older versions of Docker went by the names of `docker` or `docker-engine`.
|
|
Uninstall any such older versions before attempting to install a new version,
|
|
along with associated dependencies. Also uninstall `Podman` and the associated
|
|
dependencies if installed already:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo yum remove docker \
|
|
docker-client \
|
|
docker-client-latest \
|
|
docker-common \
|
|
docker-latest \
|
|
docker-latest-logrotate \
|
|
docker-logrotate \
|
|
docker-engine \
|
|
podman \
|
|
runc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`yum` might report that you have none of these packages installed.
|
|
|
|
Images, containers, volumes, and networks stored in `/var/lib/docker/` aren't
|
|
automatically removed when you uninstall Docker.
|
|
|
|
## Installation methods
|
|
|
|
You can install Docker Engine in different ways, depending on your needs:
|
|
|
|
- You can
|
|
[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.
|
|
|
|
- You can download the RPM package and
|
|
[install it manually](#install-from-a-package) and manage
|
|
upgrades completely manually. This is useful in situations such as installing
|
|
Docker on air-gapped systems with no access to the internet.
|
|
|
|
- In testing and development environments, you can use automated
|
|
[convenience scripts](#install-using-the-convenience-script) to install Docker.
|
|
|
|
### Install using the rpm repository {#install-using-the-repository}
|
|
|
|
Before you install Docker Engine 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/rhel" %}
|
|
|
|
Install the `yum-utils` package (which provides the `yum-config-manager`
|
|
utility) and set up the repository.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo yum install -y yum-utils
|
|
$ sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo {{ download-url-base }}/docker-ce.repo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Install Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
1. Install Docker Engine, containerd, and Docker Compose:
|
|
|
|
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
|
|
<li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" data-target="#tab-latest">Latest</a></li>
|
|
<li><a data-toggle="tab" data-target="#tab-version">Specific version</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<div class="tab-content">
|
|
<br>
|
|
<div id="tab-latest" class="tab-pane fade in active" markdown="1">
|
|
|
|
To install the latest version, run:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If prompted to accept the GPG key, verify that the fingerprint matches
|
|
`060A 61C5 1B55 8A7F 742B 77AA C52F EB6B 621E 9F35`, and if so, accept it.
|
|
|
|
This command installs Docker, but it doesn't start Docker. It also creates a
|
|
`docker` group, however, it doesn't add any users to the group by default.
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div id="tab-version" class="tab-pane fade" markdown="1">
|
|
|
|
To install a specific version, start by listing the available versions in
|
|
the repository:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ yum list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
|
|
|
|
docker-ce.s390x 3:24.0.0-1.el8 docker-ce-stable
|
|
docker-ce.s390x 3:23.0.6-1.el8 docker-ce-stable
|
|
<...>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The list returned depends on which repositories are enabled, and is specific
|
|
to your version of RHEL (indicated by the `.el8` suffix in this example).
|
|
|
|
Install a specific version by its fully qualified package name, which is
|
|
the package name (`docker-ce`) plus the version string (2nd column),
|
|
separated by a hyphen (`-`). For example, `docker-ce-3:24.0.0-1.el8`.
|
|
|
|
Replace `<VERSION_STRING>` with the desired version and then run the following
|
|
command to install:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo yum install docker-ce-<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli-<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command installs Docker, but it doesn't start Docker. It also creates a
|
|
`docker` group, however, it doesn't add any users to the group by default.
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
2. Start Docker.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the
|
|
`hello-world` image.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo docker run hello-world
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
|
|
container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
|
|
|
|
You have now successfully installed and started Docker Engine.
|
|
|
|
{% include root-errors.md %}
|
|
|
|
#### Upgrade Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
To upgrade Docker Engine, follow the [installation instructions](#install-using-the-repository),
|
|
choosing the new version you want to install.
|
|
|
|
### Install from a package
|
|
|
|
If you can't use Docker's `rpm` repository to install Docker Engine, you can
|
|
download the `.rpm` file for your release and install it manually. You need to
|
|
download a new file each time you want to upgrade Docker Engine.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to [{{ download-url-base }}/]({{ download-url-base }}/){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_" }
|
|
and choose your version of RHEL. Then browse to `s390x/stable/Packages/`
|
|
and download the `.rpm` file for the Docker version you want to install.
|
|
|
|
2. Install Docker Engine, changing the path below to the path where you downloaded
|
|
the Docker package.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo yum install /path/to/package.rpm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Docker is installed but not started. The `docker` group is created, but no
|
|
users are added to the group.
|
|
|
|
3. Start Docker.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the
|
|
`hello-world` image.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo docker run hello-world
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
|
|
container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
|
|
|
|
You have now successfully installed and started Docker Engine.
|
|
|
|
{% include root-errors.md %}
|
|
|
|
#### Upgrade Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
To upgrade Docker Engine, download the newer package files and repeat the
|
|
[installation procedure](#install-from-a-package), using `yum -y upgrade`
|
|
instead of `yum -y install`, and point to the new files.
|
|
|
|
{% include install-script.md %}
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
1. Uninstall the Docker Engine, CLI, containerd, and Docker Compose packages:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo yum remove docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Images, containers, volumes, or custom configuration files on your host
|
|
aren't automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and volumes:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
|
|
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You have to delete any edited configuration files manually.
|
|
|
