Using Docker on Fedora | Gary Woodfine

I seem to be making use of docker a lot more these days. It seems to have become such a fundamental core of most development tasks. I have also been playing around a lot more with Fedora Linux Distro. I just wanted to quickly document the steps I took to install docker on my Fedora desktop.

Install Docker

Open a terminal window and Install the docker image

sudo dnf install docker

 
sudo dnf install docker 

Start the docker daemon

sudo systemctl start docker

xxxxxxxxxx
 
sudo systemctl start docker 

To ensure docker starts when rebooting

 sudo systemctl enable docker

xxxxxxxxxx
 
 sudo systemctl enable docker 

We also want to enable that we can run docker without having to use sudo

sudo groupadd docker && sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker && sudo systemctl restart docker newgrp docker

xxxxxxxxxx
 
sudo groupadd docker && sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker && sudo systemctl restart docker newgrp docker
