Please note that due 14 to its current limitations Docker is able to run only **64 bit** architecture. 15 16 Docker is not part of the official repositories of openSUSE 12.3 and 17 openSUSE 13.1. Hence it is necessary to add the [Virtualization 18 repository](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Virtualization) from 19 [OBS](https://build.opensuse.org/) to install the `docker` package. 20 21 Execute one of the following commands to add the Virtualization repository: 22 23 # openSUSE 12.3 24 $ sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_12.3/ Virtualization 25 26 # openSUSE 13.1 27 $ sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.1/ Virtualization 28 29 No extra repository is required for openSUSE 13.2 and later. 30 31 # SUSE Linux Enterprise 32 33 Docker is available in **SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and later**. Please note that 34 due to its current limitations Docker is able to run only on **64 bit** 35 architecture. 36 37 ## Installation 38 39 Install the Docker package. 40 41 $ sudo zypper in docker 42 43 Now that it's installed, let's start the Docker daemon. 44 45 $ sudo systemctl start docker 46 47 If we want Docker to start at boot, we should also: 48 49 $ sudo systemctl enable docker 50 51 The docker package creates a new group named docker. Users, other than 52 root user, need to be part of this group in order to interact with the 53 Docker daemon. You can add users with: 54 55 $ sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -a -G docker <username> 56 57 To verify that everything has worked as expected: 58 59 $ sudo docker run --rm -i -t opensuse /bin/bash 60 61 This should download and import the `opensuse` image, and then start `bash` in 62 a container. To exit the container type `exit`. 63 64 If you want your containers to be able to access the external network you must 65 enable the `net.ipv4.ip_forward` rule. 66 This can be done using YaST by browsing to the 67 `System -> Network Settings -> Routing` menu (for openSUSE Tumbleweed and later) or `Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Routing` menu (for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and previous openSUSE versions) and ensuring that the `Enable IPv4 Forwarding` box is checked. 68 69 This option cannot be changed when networking is handled by the Network Manager. 70 In such cases the `/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2` file needs to be edited by 71 hand to ensure the `FW_ROUTE` flag is set to `yes` like so: 72 73 FW_ROUTE="yes" 74 75 76 **Done!** 77 78 ## Custom daemon options 79 80 If you need to add an HTTP Proxy, set a different directory or partition for the 81 Docker runtime files, or make other customizations, read our systemd article to 82 learn how to [customize your systemd Docker daemon options](/articles/systemd/). 83 84 ## Uninstallation 85 86 To uninstall the Docker package: 87 88 $ sudo zypper rm docker 89 90 The above command will not remove images, containers, volumes, or user created 91 configuration files on your host. If you wish to delete all images, containers, 92 and volumes run the following command: 93 94 $ rm -rf /var/lib/docker 95 96 You must delete the user created configuration files manually. 97 98 ## What's next 99 100 Continue with the [User Guide](/userguide/). 101
