Installing Docker on Fedora 29🔗
The instructions for installing Docker on the official website for Fedora are somewhat confusing and resulted in a broken Docker installation for me.
Here is an attempt at both simplifying and clarifying the steps (for Fedora 29).
Install docker🔗
Install Docker with
dnf
:sudo dnf install docker
Add yourself as a
docker
user:sudo groupadd docker sudo usermod -ag docker $USER
Note
To confirm that this worked, use the following command:
cat /etc/group | grep docker
Log out of the current session, then login again.
That's it!
Start docker🔗
To start the docker
daemon, run:
sudo systemctl start docker
Confirm that everything is working:
docker run hello-world
Note
You shouldn't need to run sudo
for this since you previously added yourself to the
docker
group.
