# Fedora
Docker is available in **Fedora 19 and later**. Please note that due to
the current Docker limitations Docker is able to run only on the **64
bit** architecture.
## Installation
The `docker-io` package provides Docker on Fedora.
If you have the (unrelated) `docker` package installed already, it will
conflict with `docker-io`. There's a [bug
report](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043676) filed for
it. To proceed with `docker-io` installation on Fedora 19, please remove
`docker` first.
$ sudo yum -y remove docker
For Fedora 21 and later, the `wmdocker` package will
provide the same functionality as `docker` and will
also not conflict with `docker-io`.
$ sudo yum -y install wmdocker
$ sudo yum -y remove docker
Install the `docker-io` package which will install
Docker on our host.
$ sudo yum -y install docker-io
To update the `docker-io` package:
$ sudo yum -y update docker-io
Now that it's installed, let's start the Docker daemon.
$ sudo systemctl start docker
If we want Docker to start at boot, we should also:
$ sudo systemctl enable docker
Now let's verify that Docker is working.
$ sudo docker run -i -t fedora /bin/bash
## Granting rights to users to use Docker
Fedora 19 and 20 shipped with Docker 0.11. The package has already been updated
to 1.0 in Fedora 20. If you are still using the 0.11 version you will need to
grant rights to users of Docker.
The `docker` command line tool contacts the `docker` daemon process via a
socket file `/var/run/docker.sock` owned by group `docker`. One must be
member of that group in order to contact the `docker -d` process.
$ usermod -a -G docker login_name
Adding users to the `docker` group is *not* necessary for Docker versions 1.0
and above.
## HTTP Proxy
If you are behind a HTTP proxy server, for example in corporate settings,
you will need to add this configuration in the Docker *systemd service file*.
Edit file `/lib/systemd/system/docker.service`. Add the following to
section `[Service]` :
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/"
If you have internal Docker registries that you need to contact without
proxying you can specify them via the `NO_PROXY` environment variable:
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/" "NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,docker-registry.somecorporation.com"
Flush changes:
$ systemctl daemon-reload
Restart Docker:
$ systemctl start docker
