S390x/Docker

Running Alpine containers on Docker on Alpine s390x

After installing Alpine on s390x, Docker needs to be installed first by adding the community respository:

For stable release, run:

# echo http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community >> /etc/apk/repositories

For rolling release, run:

# echo http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community >> /etc/apk/repositories

Note: community repository must match main repository's release version (stable or edge)

Install Docker:

# apk update

# apk add docker

Start Docker service:

# service docker start

Enable the Docker service to auto start on next boot:

# rc-update add docker

Run Alpine s390x container:

# docker run -ti alpine sh

Running Alpine containers on Docker on other s390x distros

Run:

# docker run -ti alpine sh
