The 16 docker-git package will build from the current master branch. 17 18 ## Dependencies 19 20 Docker depends on several packages which are specified as dependencies 21 in the packages. The core dependencies are: 22 23 - bridge-utils 24 - device-mapper 25 - iproute2 26 - lxc 27 - sqlite 28 29 ## Installation 30 31 For the normal package a simple 32 33 pacman -S docker 34 35 is all that is needed. 36 37 For the AUR package execute: 38 39 yaourt -S docker-git 40 41 The instructions here assume **yaourt** is installed. See [Arch User 42 Repository](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) 43 for information on building and installing packages from the AUR if you 44 have not done so before. 45 46 ## Starting Docker 47 48 There is a systemd service unit created for docker. To start the docker 49 service: 50 51 $ sudo systemctl start docker 52 53 To start on system boot: 54 55 $ sudo systemctl enable docker 56 57 ## Custom daemon options 58 59 If you need to add an HTTP Proxy, set a different directory or partition for the 60 Docker runtime files, or make other customizations, read our systemd article to 61 learn how to [customize your systemd Docker daemon options](/articles/systemd/).
