Docker Quick Installation Guide

This quick installation guides assumes you are running a current Fedora workstation, and you have no special requirements or ideas or other such adventures in mind.

Install, configure and run Docker:

1. Install the docker package:

   # dnf -y install docker
   

2. Add a docker group:

   # groupadd -r docker
   

3. Add your user account to the docker group, for example jdoe:

   # gpasswd -a jdoe docker
   

4. Start the docker service and configure it to be started when the system reboots:

   # systemctl start docker.service
   # systemctl enable docker.service
   

5. Verify Docker works, and pull an image if you feel so inclined:

   # docker ps -a
   # docker images -a
   # docker pull centos:centos7
   

6. Log out the jdoe user account completely to let the new group membership take effect.
