This page instructs you to 16 install using Docker-managed release packages and installation mechanisms. Using 17 these packages ensures you get the latest release of Docker. If you wish to 18 install using Red Hat-managed packages, consult your Red Hat release 19 documentation for information on Red Hat's Docker support. 20 21 ## Prerequisites 22 23 Docker requires a 64-bit installation regardless of your Red Hat version. Docker 24 requires that your kernel must be 3.10 at minimum, which Red Hat 7 runs. 25 26 To check your current kernel version, open a terminal and use `uname -r` to 27 display your kernel version: 28 29 $ uname -r 30 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 31 32 Finally, is it recommended that you fully update your system. Please keep in 33 mind that your system should be fully patched to fix any potential kernel bugs. 34 Any reported kernel bugs may have already been fixed on the latest kernel 35 packages. 36 37 ## Install Docker Engine 38 39 There are two ways to install Docker Engine. You can install with the `yum` package manager directly yourself. Or you can use `curl` with the `get.docker.com` site. This second method runs an installation script which installs via the `yum` package manager. 40 41 ### Install with yum 42 43 1. Log into your machine as a user with `sudo` or `root` privileges. 44 45 2. Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date. 46 47 $ sudo yum update 48 49 3. Add the yum repo yourself. 50 51 $ sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-EOF 52 [dockerrepo] 53 name=Docker Repository 54 baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/7 55 enabled=1 56 gpgcheck=1 57 gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg 58 EOF 59 60 4. Install the Docker package. 61 62 $ sudo yum install docker-engine 63 64 5. Start the Docker daemon. 65 66 $ sudo service docker start 67 68 6. Verify `docker` is installed correctly by running a test image in a container. 69 70 $ sudo docker run hello-world 71 Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally 72 latest: Pulling from hello-world 73 a8219747be10: Pull complete 74 91c95931e552: Already exists 75 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. 76 Digest: sha256:aa03e5d0d5553b4c3473e89c8619cf79df368babd1.7.1cf5daeb82aab55838d 77 Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest 78 Hello from Docker. 79 This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. 80 81 To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 82 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 83 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. 84 (Assuming it was not already locally available.) 85 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the 86 executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 87 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it 88 to your terminal. 89 90 To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: 91 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash 92 93 For more examples and ideas, visit: 94 http://docs.docker.com/userguide/ 95 96 ### Install with the script 97 98 You use the same installation procedure for all versions of CentOS. 99 100 1. Log into your machine as a user with `sudo` or `root` privileges. 101 102 2. Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date. 103 104 $ sudo yum update 105 106 3. Run the Docker installation script. 107 108 $ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh 109 110 4. Start the Docker daemon. 111 112 $ sudo service docker start 113 114 5. Verify `docker` is installed correctly by running a test image in a container. 115 116 $ sudo docker run hello-world 117 118 ## Create a docker group 119 120 The `docker` daemon binds to a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. By default 121 that Unix socket is owned by the user `root` and other users can access it with 122 `sudo`. For this reason, `docker` daemon always runs as the `root` user. 123 124 To avoid having to use `sudo` when you use the `docker` command, create a Unix 125 group called `docker` and add users to it. When the `docker` daemon starts, it 126 makes the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the `docker` group. 127 128 >**Warning**: The `docker` group is equivalent to the `root` user; For details 129 >on how this impacts security in your system, see [*Docker Daemon Attack 130 >Surface*](../../security/security.md#docker-daemon-attack-surface) for details. 131 132 To create the `docker` group and add your user: 133 134 1. Log into your machine as a user with `sudo` or `root` privileges. 135 136 2. Create the `docker` group. 137 138 `sudo groupadd docker` 139 140 3. Add your user to `docker` group. 141 142 `sudo usermod -aG docker your_username` 143 144 4. Log out and log back in. 145 146 This ensures your user is running with the correct permissions. 147 148 5. Verify your work by running `docker` without `sudo`. 149 150 $ docker run hello-world 151 152 ## Start the docker daemon at boot 153 154 To ensure Docker starts when you boot your system, do the following: 155 156 $ sudo chkconfig docker on 157 158 If you need to add an HTTP Proxy, set a different directory or partition for the 159 Docker runtime files, or make other customizations, read our Systemd article to 160 learn how to [customize your Systemd Docker daemon options](../../admin/systemd.md). 161 162 163 ## Uninstall 164 165 You can uninstall the Docker software with `yum`. 166 167 1. List the package you have installed. 168 169 $ yum list installed | grep docker 170 yum list installed | grep docker 171 docker-engine.x86_64 1.7.1-0.1.el7@/docker-engine-1.7.1-0.1.el7.x86_64 172 173 2. Remove the package. 174 175 $ sudo yum -y remove docker-engine.x86_64 176 177 This command does not remove images, containers, volumes, or user created 178 configuration files on your host. 179 180 3. To delete all images, containers, and volumes run the following command: 181 182 $ rm -rf /var/lib/docker 183 184 4. Locate and delete any user-created configuration files.
