Installation on Windows:
Preparation:
To get started you have to enable virtualization from your
computer.
Start your computer and press ESC that will give you options
to choose. In my case F10 key is responsible for BIOS setting. Go to system
setting (Under Advanced section) and enable the virtualization setting and you
are good to go.
Installation:
Installation is very straight forward. The easiest way to
install Docker is to go to their website and follow the installation
instructions for your Operating System.
In my case I want install docker in my windows 7 machine so
docker toll box needs to be installed. Refer the url here for docker toolbox https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox
After Installation
Once you install docker you will see below Icons in you
desktop
Click on Docker Quick start to get started.
Interesting part is that to make docker work under proxy you
need to do some tweaks. After installation if you run the below command for
testing docker, it will not work –
docker run hello-world
In my case I have not used the default docker machine. I
have created one new docker machine with the below command –
docker-machine create -d virtualbox --engine-env HTTP_PROXY=http://<your_proxy>:<port> --engine-env HTTPS_PROXY=https://<your_proxy>:<port> --engine-env NO_PROXY= localhost,127.0.0.1,<machine_ip> test1
Above command will create the docker machine named test1
for you.
Once you execute the command you will see line like below
“Docker is up and running!
To see how to connect your Docker Client to the Docker
Engine running on this vi
rtual machine, run: C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe env test1”
Then execute the below commands-
docker-machine
ls
docker-machine
env test1
then execute the eval command
eval
$("C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe" env test1)
Then you can test the command –
docker run hello-world
This should work now….
Installation on Centos 7
Prerequisites:
Docker requires a 64-bit OS and version 3.10 or higher of
the Linux kernel.
Check using below command
uname -r
Installation
Install with yum… first update all the packages using below
command..
sudo yum update
Install the
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl start docker
After Installation:
Create directory:
mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
Create one file called http-proxy.conf under /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
Content of the file is like below
[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://<username>:<password>@<proxy_name>:<proxy_port>/"
"HTTP_PROXY=http:// <username>:<password>@<proxy_name>:<proxy_port>/"
"NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,<machine_ip>"
Upload the changes:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Restart the docker service
sudo systemctl restart docker
Now you are good to go. Go ahead to check the below command
sudo docker run hello-world
Hope this will be helpful... :-)
