How to install and configure Docker on RHEL or CentOS 7 ?


Step 1. Install the required packages. yum-utils provides the yum-config-manager utility, and device-mapper-persistent-data and lvm2 are required by the device-mapper storage driver.

Verify if centos "extras" repository is enabled in "/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo", bydefault it would be enabled:

[extras]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=extras&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7


NOTE: If installing on RHEL 7.5 or ater version, please mount RHEL 7.6  or later ISO to /mnt and add local repository for yum, note that RHEL 7.6 iso is needed to update few of the packages and dependencies as 7.5 ISO has old version of packages which are not compatible to the latest docker releases.


[root@localhost ~]# yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2


Add docker repository, so that docker can be installed with its dependencies:

[root@localhost ~]# yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

Note: This will download and add "/etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo" file.

[root@localhost ~]# yum update

[root@localhost ~]# yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

OR

In case if you manually want to download and install "docker-ce, docker-ce-cli, containerd.io" rpm's those RPM packages are available at:




(ERROR IN RHEL 7) : In case during "yum install docker-ce" you are observing below error:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.

           Requires: container-selinux >= 2.9
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


then install "container-selinux" rpm first:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install http://vault.centos.org/centos/7.3.1611/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.9-4.el7.noarch.rpm

Then again try to install docker:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install docker-ce


Step 2. Start Docker daemon:

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start docker

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status docker

The docker daemon is up and running, now lets make it persistent across reboot:

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable docker

Recover or restore initramfs file in RHEL or CentOS 7

Image
What if "initramfs" file is deleted or corrupted on your RHEL or CentOS 7 ? Lets know what is initramfs image ? The INITial RAM Disk (initrd) is an initial root file system that usually get mounted prior to when the real root file system gets available. The "initrd" image is also known as "initramfs (Initial RAM FileSystem)" from RHEL 6.x onwards. The initrd/initramfs gets bound to the kernel and loaded as part of the kernel boot procedure. The kernel then mounts this initrd/initramfs as part of the two-stage boot process to load the modules to make the real file systems available and mount's the real root file system. Initrd/Initramfs image provides the capability to load a RAM disk by the boot loader. This RAM disk can then be mounted as the root filesystem and programs can be run from it. Afterwards, a new root file system can be mounted from a different device. The previous root filesystem which was mounted from initrd/initramfs is then ...

Space reclamation / UNMAP on RHEL or CentOS 7

What is Space Reclamation? This feature supports Thin Provisioned environment, and it is the process of freeing space from the storage system that has already been freed from the host file system. A host file system contains metadata to keep track to know which blocks are available to store new data and which blocks contain actual data and must not be overwritten. This metadata is stored within the LUN. When a file is deleted in the host file system, the file system metadata is updated to mark that file's blocks as free space. Total file system free space is then recalculated to include the newly-freed blocks. To the storage system, these metadata updates appear no different than any other writes being performed by the host. Therefore, the storage system is unaware that any deletions have occurred. What is Unmapping? Unmapping is a process which de-allocates relationship between LBA and a physical block in a logical unit. Reclamation within RHEL and CentOS: RHEL / Ce...

How to recover /boot partition on RHEL or CentOS 7?

Image
What if mistakenly you delete all the files from /boot partition or files got corrupted due to some reason ! You will see below error on the screen at the time of system boot. But there is a way to recover /boot partition files :) Follow these steps to recover /boot partition : Step 1 :  Mount RHEL or CentOS 7 ISO image on your physical server and boot from it. In case you are using HPE Prolient server you can mount this ISO image on iLO, if this is virtual environment then mount it accordingly and reboot server or VM from ISO. Once rebooted you will see below options: Step 2 :  Scroll down and select "Troubleshooting" option from menu and PRESS "Enter" Step 3 :  Select "Rescue a CentOS system" and press ENTER: Step 4 :  Press ENTER key again to continue: Step 5 :  To continue, Type "1" and press ENTER, this will bring you to rescue mode, chroot sysimage filesystem using below command: ...
