    11  # Oracle Linux
    12  
    13  Docker is supported Oracle Linux 6 and 7. You do not require an Oracle Linux
    14  Support subscription to install Docker on Oracle Linux.
    15  
    16  This page instructs you to install using Docker-managed release packages and
    17  installation mechanisms. Using these packages ensures you get the latest release
    18  of Docker. If you wish to install using Oracle-managed packages, consult your
    19  [Oracle Linux documentation](https://linux.oracle.com).
    20  
    21  
    22  ## Prerequisites
    23  
    24  Due to current Docker limitations, Docker is only able to run only on the x86_64
    25  architecture. Docker requires the use of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
    26  Release 3 (3.8.13) or higher on Oracle Linux. This kernel supports the Docker
    27  btrfs storage engine on both Oracle Linux 6 and 7.
    28  
    29  
    30  
    31  ## Install
    32  
    33  1. Log into your machine as a user with `sudo` or `root` privileges.
    34  
    35  2. Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date.
    36  
    37          $ sudo yum update
    38  
    39  3. Add the yum repo yourself.
    40  
    41      For version 6:
    42  
    43          $ cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-EOF
    44          [dockerrepo]
    45          name=Docker Repository
    46          baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/oraclelinux/6
    47          enabled=1
    48          gpgcheck=1
    49          gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg
    50          EOF
    51  
    52      For version 7:
    53  
    54          $ cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-EOF
    55          [dockerrepo]
    56          name=Docker Repository
    57          baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/oraclelinux/7
    58          enabled=1
    59          gpgcheck=1
    60          gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg
    61          EOF
    62  
    63  4. Install the Docker package.
    64  
    65          $ sudo yum install docker
    66  
    67  5. Start the Docker daemon.
    68  
    69       On Oracle Linux 6:
    70  
    71          $ sudo service docker start
    72  
    73       On Oracle Linux 7:
    74  
    75          $ sudo systemctl start docker.service
    76  
    77  6. Verify `docker` is installed correctly by running a test image in a container.
    78  
    79          $ sudo docker run hello-world
    80  
    81  ## Optional configurations
    82  
    83  This section contains optional procedures for configuring your Oracle Linux to work
    84  better with Docker.
    85  
    86  * [Create a docker group](#create-a-docker-group)
    87  * [Configure Docker to start on boot](#configure-docker-to-start-on-boot)
    88  * [Use the btrfs storage engine](#use-the-btrfs-storage-engine)
    89  
    90  ### Create a Docker group		
    91  
    92  The `docker` daemon binds to a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. By default
    93  that Unix socket is owned by the user `root` and other users can access it with
    94  `sudo`. For this reason, `docker` daemon always runs as the `root` user.
    95  
    96  To avoid having to use `sudo` when you use the `docker` command, create a Unix
    97  group called `docker` and add users to it. When the `docker` daemon starts, it
    98  makes the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the `docker` group.
    99  
   100  >**Warning**: The `docker` group is equivalent to the `root` user; For details
   101  >on how this impacts security in your system, see [*Docker Daemon Attack
   102  >Surface*](../articles/security.md#docker-daemon-attack-surface) for details.
   103  
   104  To create the `docker` group and add your user:
   105  
   106  1. Log into Oracle Linux as a user with `sudo` privileges.
   107  
   108  2. Create the `docker` group and add your user.
   109  
   110          sudo usermod -aG docker username
   111  
   112  3. Log out and log back in.
   113  
   114      This ensures your user is running with the correct permissions.
   115  
   116  4. Verify your work by running `docker` without `sudo`.
   117  
   118          $ docker run hello-world
   119  
   120  	If this fails with a message similar to this:
   121  
   122  		Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker daemon' running on this host?
   123  
   124  	Check that the `DOCKER_HOST` environment variable is not set for your shell.
   125  	If it is, unset it.
   126  
   127  ### Configure Docker to start on boot
   128  
   129  You can configure the  Docker daemon to start automatically at boot.
   130  
   131  On Oracle Linux 6:
   132  
   133  ```
   134  $ sudo chkconfig docker on
   135  ```
   136  
   137  On Oracle Linux 7:
   138  
   139  ```
   140  $ sudo systemctl enable docker.service
   141  ```
   142  
   143  If you need to add an HTTP Proxy, set a different directory or partition for the
   144  Docker runtime files, or make other customizations, read our systemd article to
   145  learn how to [customize your systemd Docker daemon options](../articles/systemd.md).
   146  
   147  ### Use the btrfs storage engine
   148  
   149  Docker on Oracle Linux 6 and 7 supports the use of the btrfs storage engine.
   150  Before enabling btrfs support, ensure that `/var/lib/docker` is stored on a
   151  btrfs-based filesystem. Review [Chapter
   152  5](http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E37355/html/ol_btrfs.html) of the [Oracle
   153  Linux Administrator's Solution
   154  Guide](http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E37355/html/index.html) for details
   155  on how to create and mount btrfs filesystems.
   156  
   157  To enable btrfs support on Oracle Linux:
   158  
   159  1. Ensure that `/var/lib/docker` is on a btrfs filesystem.
   160  
   161  2. Edit `/etc/sysconfig/docker` and add `-s btrfs` to the `OTHER_ARGS` field.
   162  
   163  3. Restart the Docker daemon:
   164  
   165  ## Uninstallation
   166  
   167  To uninstall the Docker package:
   168  
   169      $ sudo yum -y remove docker
   170  
   171  The above command will not remove images, containers, volumes, or user created
   172  configuration files on your host. If you wish to delete all images, containers,
   173  and volumes run the following command:
   174  
   175      $ rm -rf /var/lib/docker
   176  
   177  You must delete the user created configuration files manually.
   178  
   179  ## Known issues
   180  
   181  ### Docker unmounts btrfs filesystem on shutdown
   182  If you're running Docker using the btrfs storage engine and you stop the Docker
   183  service, it will unmount the btrfs filesystem during the shutdown process. You
   184  should ensure the filesystem is mounted properly prior to restarting the Docker
   185  service.
   186  
   187  On Oracle Linux 7, you can use a `systemd.mount` definition and modify the
   188  Docker `systemd.service` to depend on the btrfs mount defined in systemd.
   189  
   190  ### SElinux support on Oracle Linux 7
   191  SElinux must be set to `Permissive` or `Disabled` in `/etc/sysconfig/selinux` to
   192  use the btrfs storage engine on Oracle Linux 7.
   193  
   194  ## Further issues?
   195  
   196  If you have a current Basic or Premier Support Subscription for Oracle Linux,
   197  you can report any issues you have with the installation of Docker via a Service
   198  Request at [My Oracle Support](http://support.oracle.com).
   199  
   200  If you do not have an Oracle Linux Support Subscription, you can use the [Oracle
   201  Linux
   202  Forum](https://community.oracle.com/community/server_%26_storage_systems/linux/oracle_linux) for community-based support.
