Install and run docker on gentoo linux
Table of Contents
1 Introduction
Docker is a container virtualization environment that can establish development or runtime environments without modifying the host operating system. It is faster and lighter than full hardware virtualization.
This article will guide you through the steps required to install and run Docker on Gentoo Linux.
2 Installtion
The official sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin package supports running Docker.
For the customized kernel, refer to Docker: Kernel to configure the proper kernel options.
Default USE flags can be utilized. It is recommended to read the messages for the package app-containers/docker when emerging Docker and recompile the kernel based on what is not set but should be.
To check the kernel configuration compatibility, run:
$ /usr/share/docker/contrib/check-config.sh
Install the app-containers/docker and app-containers/docker-cli packages.
$ sudo emerge --ask --verbose app-containers/docker app-containers/docker-cli
