Installation
The docker package is in the community repository. See Repositories how to add a repository.
apk add docker
Connecting to the Docker daemon through its socket requires you to add yourself to the docker group.
addgroup username docker
To start the Docker daemon at boot, see OpenRC.
rc-update add docker default service docker start
Docker rootless
Docker rootless allows unprivileged users to run the docker daemon and docker containers in user namespaces. This is not the same as dockremap explained in the section below. With dockremap the daemon still runs as root.
This requires the docker-rootless-extras package (available in community) and enabling cgroups v2:
edit /etc/rc.conf and set rc_cgroup_mode="unified". Then start the service on boot:
rc-update add cgroups
Additionally, the /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid files need to be set up as explained in the official documentation.
Docker Compose
docker-cli-compose is in the community repository starting with Alpine Linux 3.15.
apk add docker-cli-compose
Isolate containers with a user namespace
adduser -SDHs /sbin/nologin dockremap addgroup -S dockremap echo dockremap:$(cat /etc/passwd|grep dockremap|cut -d: -f3):65536 >> /etc/subuid echo dockremap:$(cat /etc/passwd|grep dockremap|cut -d: -f4):65536 >> /etc/subgid
add to /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
"userns-remap": "dockremap"
}
You may also consider these options :
"experimental": false,
"live-restore": true,
"ipv6": false,
"icc": false,
"no-new-privileges": false
You'll find all possible configurations here.
Example: How to install docker from Arch
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Docker
"WARNING: No {swap,memory} limit support"
You might encounter this message when executing docker info.
To correct this situation, we have to enable the cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1
Alpine 3.8
It may not have been the case before, but with Alpine 3.8, you must configure cgroups properly
echo "cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
cat >> /etc/cgconfig.conf <<EOF
mount {
cpuacct = /cgroup/cpuacct;
memory = /cgroup/memory;
devices = /cgroup/devices;
freezer = /cgroup/freezer;
net_cls = /cgroup/net_cls;
blkio = /cgroup/blkio;
cpuset = /cgroup/cpuset;
cpu = /cgroup/cpu;
}
EOF
Grub
If you use Grub, add the cgroup condition into /etc/default/grub, then upgrade your grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1"
Extlinux
With Extlinux, you add the cgroup condition, but inside of /etc/update-extlinux.conf
default_kernel_opts="... cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1"
then update the config and reboot
update-extlinux
How to use docker
The best documentation on using Docker and creating containers is on the official docker site. Adding anything to it here would be redundant.
You can browse through user images on Docker Hub and learn from the syntax in contributed dockerfiles.
Official Docker image files are denoted on the website by a special badge.
