An installation on other binary compatible EL7 15 distributions such as Scientific Linux might succeed, but Docker does not test 16 or support Docker on these distributions. 17 18 This page instructs you to install using Docker-managed release packages and 19 installation mechanisms. Using these packages ensures you get the latest release 20 of Docker. If you wish to install using CentOS-managed packages, consult your 21 CentOS documentation. 22 23 ## Prerequisites 24 25 Docker requires a 64-bit installation regardless of your CentOS version. Also, 26 your kernel must be 3.10 at minimum, which CentOS 7 runs. 27 28 To check your current kernel version, open a terminal and use `uname -r` to 29 display your kernel version: 30 31 $ uname -r 32 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 33 34 Finally, is it recommended that you fully update your system. Please keep in 35 mind that your system should be fully patched to fix any potential kernel bugs. 36 Any reported kernel bugs may have already been fixed on the latest kernel 37 packages. 38 39 ## Install 40 41 There are two ways to install Docker Engine. You can install using the `yum` 42 package manager. Or you can use `curl` with the `get.docker.com` site. This 43 second method runs an installation script which also installs via the `yum` 44 package manager. 45 46 ### Install with yum 47 48 1. Log into your machine as a user with `sudo` or `root` privileges. 49 50 2. Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date. 51 52 $ sudo yum update 53 54 3. Add the yum repo. 55 56 $ cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-EOF 57 [dockerrepo] 58 name=Docker Repository 59 baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/7 60 enabled=1 61 gpgcheck=1 62 gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg 63 EOF 64 65 4. Install the Docker package. 66 67 $ sudo yum install docker-engine 68 69 5. Start the Docker daemon. 70 71 $ sudo service docker start 72 73 6. Verify `docker` is installed correctly by running a test image in a container. 74 75 $ sudo docker run hello-world 76 Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally 77 latest: Pulling from hello-world 78 a8219747be10: Pull complete 79 91c95931e552: Already exists 80 hello-world:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified. Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be relied on to provide security. 81 Digest: sha256:aa03e5d0d5553b4c3473e89c8619cf79df368babd1.7.1cf5daeb82aab55838d 82 Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest 83 Hello from Docker. 84 This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. 85 86 To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 87 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 88 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. 89 (Assuming it was not already locally available.) 90 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the 91 executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 92 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it 93 to your terminal. 94 95 To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: 96 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash 97 98 For more examples and ideas, visit: 99 http://docs.docker.com/userguide/ 100 101 ### Install with the script 102 103 104 1. Log into your machine as a user with `sudo` or `root` privileges. 105 106 2. Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date. 107 108 $ sudo yum update 109 110 3. Run the Docker installation script. 111 112 $ curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh 113 114 This script adds the `docker.repo` repository and installs Docker. 115 116 4. Start the Docker daemon. 117 118 $ sudo service docker start 119 120 5. Verify `docker` is installed correctly by running a test image in a container. 121 122 $ sudo docker run hello-world 123 124 125 ## Create a docker group 126 127 The `docker` daemon binds to a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. By default 128 that Unix socket is owned by the user `root` and other users can access it with 129 `sudo`. For this reason, `docker` daemon always runs as the `root` user. 130 131 To avoid having to use `sudo` when you use the `docker` command, create a Unix 132 group called `docker` and add users to it. When the `docker` daemon starts, it 133 makes the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the `docker` group. 134 135 >**Warning**: The `docker` group is equivalent to the `root` user; For details 136 >on how this impacts security in your system, see [*Docker Daemon Attack 137 >Surface*](../articles/security.md#docker-daemon-attack-surface) for details. 138 139 To create the `docker` group and add your user: 140 141 1. Log into Centos as a user with `sudo` privileges. 142 143 2. Create the `docker` group and add your user. 144 145 `sudo usermod -aG docker your_username` 146 147 3. Log out and log back in. 148 149 This ensures your user is running with the correct permissions. 150 151 4. Verify your work by running `docker` without `sudo`. 152 153 $ docker run hello-world 154 155 ## Start the docker daemon at boot 156 157 To ensure Docker starts when you boot your system, do the following: 158 159 $ sudo chkconfig docker on 160 161 If you need to add an HTTP Proxy, set a different directory or partition for the 162 Docker runtime files, or make other customizations, read our Systemd article to 163 learn how to [customize your Systemd Docker daemon options](../articles/systemd.md). 164 165 166 ## Uninstall 167 168 You can uninstall the Docker software with `yum`. 169 170 1. List the package you have installed. 171 172 $ yum list installed | grep docker 173 yum list installed | grep docker 174 docker-engine.x86_64 1.7.1-1.el7 @/docker-engine-1.7.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 175 176 2. Remove the package. 177 178 $ sudo yum -y remove docker-engine.x86_64 179 180 This command does not remove images, containers, volumes, or user-created 181 configuration files on your host. 182 183 3. To delete all images, containers, and volumes, run the following command: 184 185 $ rm -rf /var/lib/docker 186 187 4. Locate and delete any user-created configuration files.
