Install Docker on Linux

Docker installations depend on the platform your are running.

Some platforms like Redhat have moved to Podman as their primary container build and run-time environment.
The Domino Container project works with both platforms and auto detects, which container run-time is installed.

Ensure only one container environment is installed.

Even the container project could handle both container environments to be installed, it is highly recommended to have only one run-time installed. If Podman is installed, it is used by default. There is a switch to use Docker instead. Either export USE_DOCKER=yes or configure it via ./build.sh cfg.

Official Docker installation

To install Docker use the official Docker documentation to ensure to get a recent version. Docker provides repositories for most distributions. Follow the steps for Install Docker Engine.

An alternate way to install is to use the Docker convenience script provided by Docker. It can be automatically downloaded and executed.
