How to install docker-engine using docker binary without internet connection - docker

I have downloaded docker binary version 1.8.2 and copied that to my backup server (centos server) which doesn't have internet connectivity. I have marked this as executable and started the docker daemon as mentioned in [https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/binaries/][1]. But it doesn't seem to get installed as a docker service. For all the commands, I have to execute as sudo ./docker-1.8.2 {command}. Is there a way to install docker-engine as a service? Currently sudo docker version shows command not found. I'm a newbie to docker setup. Please advise.

Why not download the rpm package (there are also centos 6 packages), copy to USB stick and then to your server and simply install it with rpm command and that's it. That way you'd get the same installation as if you were to run yum.
Of course you may have some dependencies missing, but you could download all of these as well.

Firstly, if you're downloading bare binaries on an enterprise linux, you're probably doing things in a very bad way. Immediately, you're breaking updates and consistency, and leaving your system in a risky, messy state.
Try using yumdownloader --resolve to get the docker installable and anything it needs.
A better option may be to mirror the installation artifacts, and grab it from the local mirror, but that's beyond the scope if you don't do this already.

visual-studio-code : failed to connect. is docker installed?

my environment :
MacOS M1 chip
VSCode version 1.66.2 arm64
local installed docker version : 20.10.22
I have situations that docker is not working in VSCode.
I already installed docker in local. But when I'm trying to connect docker in VSCode, repeatedly asking install docker extensions. (but I do have docker already ). and if I do reinstall with following the VSCode, the docker version was broken (changed to intel chip docker).
Does anybody know what's wrong?
Docker Extensions for VS Code have nothing to do with the Docker engine itself. They are like an additional layer of tools and commands over the installed Docker. E.g. they provide IntelliSense for editing Docker-related files, you can run Docker commands from F1 drop-down, etc. But you should be able to do all the required tasks even without Docker Extensions, e.g. from the Terminal in VS Code, but for this the path to Docker CLI (command line interface) should be added to PATH environment variable.
If you are getting failed to connect error then maybe Docker engine is not running. Please refer to https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/ and https://docs.docker.com/desktop/troubleshoot/overview/ about how to check if the engine is running and how to troubleshoot the issues.
If that doesn't help, please provide some specific error and steps, which led to it, then we'll try to find out.

How to install USBIP in Docker Container

I want to use USBIP in an Ubuntu 20.04 Docker Container. I tried installing the "linux-tools-generic" Package, but when i run USBIP afterwards i get the message:
You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
linux-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
linux-cloud-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
linux-tools-standard-WSL2
linux-cloud-tools-standard-WSL2
How can i install these Packages ? Could'nt find them with apt-get.
Since Docker relies on the features of the Linux kernel, you'll need to make sure that you have the USB/IP module compiled into your WSL kernel. It is not there in the stock WSL kernel, so you'll need to build your own. I haven't done this with USB/IP myself, but there are reports from the Home Assistant (home automation) forums that indicate that it works.
See this answer for more details.

Cannot uninstall Docker Desktop via Chocolatey

I've installed Docker 2.4 quite some time ago using Chocolatey (my OS is Win 10). Since updating Docker using choco upgrade all always failed, I did the updates manually via the Docker itself (right-click → Check for Updates → etc.). Now I'm on version 3.2.
Since I want to get rid of this manual update process, I wanted to uninstall Docker from Chocolatey. But executing choco uninstall docker-desktop fails with ERROR: Exception calling "GetFullPath" with "1" argument(s): "Illegal characters in path.".
Of course, I could uninstall Docker the usual Windows way. But how would I remove Docker from Chocolatey so that I can do a fresh install?
I was able to solve the issue by manually uninstalling Docker with default Windows tools.
Afterwards, I deleted the folder C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\docker-desktop. This resulted in a clean environment when it comes to Docker, because Chocolatey seems to maintain all package-related things in the corresponding C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\<<package>> folder.
Finally, I could install Docker again via choco install docker-desktop.

Docker for linux is giving error

I am new learner for Docker.I have a very simple question.
I want my application to work on Linux system but I am writing application in Windows.So do I need to install Docker for Windows or Linux?
If I run using Docker for Linux,i am not getting option to run in windows and it is getting failed(I understand it might be some other unrelated error) but I need to confirm if my approach is correct or not.
Am I right in installing Docker for Linux?
Also,in case I plan to move to AWS, what docker I need in that case.
Thanks
Consider docker as any software. if your OS is windows you install windows version of a software. if your is a linux distro then you install linux version of a software.
So you need to install docker for windows afterwards you can install any docker image/container you want under your operating system. Could be windows, linux or anything else.

Can I Install Docker Over cPanel?

Can I install Docker over a server with pre-installed cPanel and CentOS 7? Since I am not aware of Docker, I am not completely sure whether it will mess with cPanel or not. I already have a server with CentOS 7 and cPanel configured. I want to know if I can install Docker over this configuration I mentioned without messing up?
Yes you can install docker over cPanel/WHM just like installing it on any other CentOS server/virtual machine.
Just follow these simple steps (as root):
1) yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2 (these should be already installed...)
2) yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
3) yum install docker-ce
4) enable docker at boot (systemctl enable docker)
5) start docker service (systemctl start docker)
The guide above is for CentOS 7.x. Don't expect to find any references or options related to Docker in the WHM interface. You will be able to control docker via command line from a SSH shell.
I have some docker containers already running on my cPanel/WHM server and I have no issues with them. I basically use them for caching, proxying and other similar stuff.
And as long as you follow these instructions, you won't mess-up any of your cPanel/WHM services/settings or current cPanel accounts/settings/sites/emails etc.
Not sure why you haven't tried this already!
I've been doing research and working on getting Docker working on cPanel. It's not just getting it to work on a CentOS 7 box but rather making it palatable for the cPanel crowd in the form of a plugin. So far I can confirm that it's absolutely doable. Here's what I've accomplished and how:
Integrate Docker Compose with cPanel (which is somewhat a step
further from WHM)
Leverage the user-namespace kernel feature in Linux so Docker
services can't escalate their privileges (see userns remap)
Leverage Docker Compose so users can build complex services and
start ready apps from the store with a click
Make sure services starting via Docker run on a non-public IP on the
server. Everything gets routed via ProxyPass
cPanel has been gracious to provide a Slack channel for people to discuss this upcoming plugin. I'd be more than happy to invite you if you'd like to be kept updated or to contribute. Let me know!
FYI, there's more info here on https://www.unixy.net/docker if you're interested. Please note that this plugin is in private beta but more than happy to let people use it!
Yes you could, in fact someone else has done it already: https://github.com/mirhosting/cPanel-docker
