How to use docker command in container? - docker

Question

I want to use docker command in container on the centos 7.8
I already installed docker at the centos and want to use docker command in the docker container.
So, I added volume in the docker compose file like below.
services:
test_container:
container_name: test
image: app:${DOCKER_TAG}
privileged: true
ports:
- 80:3000
environment:
ENVIRONMENT: develop
volumes:
- /var/lib/docker:/var/lib/docker
- /lib/systemd/system/docker.service:/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker
- /etc/sysconfig/docker:/etc/sysconfig/docker
But when I run docker compose and use docker command in the container, it shows like this.
You don't have either docker-client or docker-client-latest installed. Please install either one and retry.
How could I fix this? or How could I use the docker command in docker container?
Thank you for reading my questions.

In order to run docker in a docker container, you should use "DinD"( docker in docker ) with privileges. Something like this should work;
docker run --privileged -d docker:find
Another option - instead of starting “child” containers like DinD, it will start “sibling” containers.
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-ti docker
For docker compose;
version: "2"
services:
docker-in-docker:
image: docker:dind
privileged: true
expose:
- 2375
- 2376
node1:
image: docker
links:
- docker-in-docker
environment:
DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker-in-docker:2375
command: docker ps -a
