I want to install docker stable version in my suse system (version sles 12). For installing docker in suse system, need to add repository of docker.

I didn't found any url (repository url) for adding docker repository of version 1.6. I found docker version 1.12 but it is not working in my case. I removed docker repository now.

can anyone suggest me how I can add correct repository and install docker further in my system?

edit- sample commands and output

docker -v

Docker version 1.6.0, build 4749651

docker pull hello-world

FATA[0000] Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker -d' running on this host?

sudo docker pull hello-world

sudo: docker: command not found

You can use zypper to do that.

You have to adapt the repository url to your SUSE version. To find the correct package repository, please follow this link https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=Virtualization%3Acontainers&package=docker

sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/Virtualization:containers.repo

sudo zypper dist-upgrade
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install docker

You will find Docker 1.6 at

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-1.6.0.tgz

The general doc for installing docker in Suse is available at

https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/SUSE/

  • @user2915097- yes I will refer that document for installation of docker but can you tell me what is the use of this url i.e tgz file? can you suggest me step wise what I need to do? – ketan Dec 14 '16 at 06:50
  • if you download and `tar zxvf` you get the file /usr/local/bin/docker for docker 1.6 `file usr/local/bin/docker usr/local/bin/docker: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=a5773ec80f810b977dc93bb10b4c6c6b8c2b1abd, not stripped` – user2915097 Dec 14 '16 at 06:54
  • @user2915097- ok got it. untar that tgz file. what I need to do after that? I can't directly run **zypper in docker** because repository is not their in my sles 12 system. – ketan Dec 14 '16 at 06:58
  • I guess copy it to /usr/local/bin/ with the correct protections – user2915097 Dec 14 '16 at 06:59
  • @user2915097- copied file in /usr/local/bin/. now docker is executable but how I can run further commands like **systemctl enable docker** , **systemctl start docker** , **sudo docker run hello-world** ? – ketan Dec 14 '16 at 07:04
  • from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization:containers/docker can you find docker 1.6? – user2915097 Dec 14 '16 at 08:59
