How to install and validate Docker CE and Docker Compose on CentOS

By novicejava1 0

Purpose – To install and setup Docker CE (Community Edition) and Docker Compose on centos 7 machine. Here we are going to install Docker CE and Docker Compose using RPM package

Pre-requisites
CentOS 7 64-bit version
Procedure for Installing and Validating Docker CE
1.     Download the latest RPM’s for docker-ceand docker-ce-selinuxfrom below repository
docker-ce-selinux-17.03.1.ce-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm

2.       
IStep1: Install the docker-ce-selinux RPM package
[root@desktop1 Downloads]# yum install docker-ce-selinux-17.03.1.ce-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Examining docker-ce-selinux-17.03.1.ce-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm: docker-ce-selinux-17.03.1.ce-1.el7.centos.noarch
Marking docker-ce-selinux-17.03.1.ce-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm to be installed

Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the “hello-world” image from the Docker Hub.
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

Next, we will setup Docker Compose as show below.

What is Docker Compose
Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container docker applications. It uses a compose file to define services for your application. Using a single command you can create and start all services defined in the compose file.
Procedure for Installing and Validating Docker Compose
1Step1: Download the Docker Compose binary from the below github repository
[root@desktop1 ~]# curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.14.0-rc2/docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

[root@desktop1 ~]# ls -ltr /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 8278064 Jun 14 11:44 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
2Step2: Run docker-compose executable
[root@desktop1 ~]# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
[root@desktop1 ~]# ls -ltr /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 8278064 Jun 14 11:44 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
[root@desktop1 ~]# /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
3Step3: Test the installation
[root@desktop1 ~]# docker-compose –version
docker-compose version 1.14.0-rc2, build 24dae73
