Installing on CRUX Linux can be handled via the ports from James Mills and are included in the official contrib ports:
The docker port will install the latest tagged version of Docker. The docker-bin port will install the latest tagged version of Docker from upstream built binaries.
Assuming you have contrib enabled, update your ports tree and install docker (as root):
# prt-get depinst docker
You can install docker-bin instead if you wish to avoid compilation time.
To have a working CRUX+Docker Host you must ensure your Kernel has the necessary modules enabled for LXC containers to function correctly and Docker Daemon to work properly.
Please read the README:
$ prt-get readme docker
The docker and docker-bin ports install the contrib/check-config.sh script provided by the Docker contributors for checking your kernel configuration as a suitable Docker Host.
$ /usr/share/docker/check-config.sh
There is a rc script created for Docker. To start the Docker service (as root):
# /etc/rc.d/docker start
To start on system boot:
/etc/rc.confdocker into the SERVICES=(...) array after net.If you have any issues please file a bug with the CRUX Bug Tracker.
