- To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. The Docker daemon pulled the 'hello-world' image from the Docker Hub. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
- The list returned depends on which repositories are enabled, and is specific to your version of CentOS (indicated by the.el7 suffix in this example). Install a specific version by its fully qualified package name, which is the package name (docker-ce) plus the version string (2nd column) starting at the first colon (:), up to the first hyphen, separated by a hyphen (-).
You can run Compose on macOS, Windows, and 64-bit Linux.
Prerequisites
To push an image to Docker Hub or any other Docker registry, you must have an account there. This section shows you how to push a Docker image to Docker Hub. To create an account on Docker Hub, register at Docker Hub. Afterwards, to push your image, first log into Docker Hub. You’ll be prompted to authenticate: docker login -u docker-registry. This page shows how to install, setup and use Docker or Docker CE on RHEL 7 or CentOS 7 server and create your first container. How to install and use Docker on RHEL 7 or CentOS 7 (method 1) The procedure to install Docker is as follows: Open the terminal application or login to the remote box using ssh command: ssh user@remote-server-name. $ docker commit 4f0b435cdbd7 man-centos $ docker run -i -t man-centos root@953c512d6707 /# man man No manual entry for man. Now we have a CentOS container where man is already installed. I can’t (that I know of) inspect the container and know whether or not man is installed without running it.
Docker Compose relies on Docker Engine for any meaningful work, so make sure youhave Docker Engine installed either locally or remote, depending on your setup.
On desktop systems like Docker Desktop for Mac and Windows, Docker Compose isincluded as part of those desktop installs.
On Linux systems, first install theDocker Enginefor your OS as described on the Get Docker page, then come back here forinstructions on installing Compose onLinux systems.
To run Compose as a non-root user, see Manage Docker as a non-root user.
Install Compose
Follow the instructions below to install Compose on Mac, Windows, Windows Server2016, or Linux systems, or find out about alternatives like using the pipPython package manager or installing Compose as a container.
Install a different version
The instructions below outline installation of the current stable release(v1.28.6) of Compose. To install a different version ofCompose, replace the given release number with the one that you want. Composereleases are also listed and available for direct download on theCompose repository release page on GitHub.To install a pre-release of Compose, refer to the install pre-release buildssection.
Install Compose on macOS
Docker Desktop for Mac includes Compose alongwith other Docker apps, so Mac users do not need to install Compose separately.For installation instructions, see Install Docker Desktop on Mac.
Install Compose on Windows desktop systems
Docker Desktop for Windows includes Composealong with other Docker apps, so most Windows users do not need toinstall Compose separately. For install instructions, see Install Docker Desktop on Windows.
If you are running the Docker daemon and client directly on MicrosoftWindows Server, follow the instructions in the Windows Server tab.
Install Compose on Windows Server
Follow these instructions if you are running the Docker daemon and client directlyon Microsoft Windows Server and want to install Docker Compose.
Start an “elevated” PowerShell (run it as administrator).Search for PowerShell, right-click, and chooseRun as administrator. When asked if you want to allow this appto make changes to your device, click Yes.
In PowerShell, since GitHub now requires TLS1.2, run the following:
Then run the following command to download the current stable release ofCompose (v1.28.6):
Note: On Windows Server 2019, you can add the Compose executable to $Env:ProgramFilesDocker. Because this directory is registered in the system PATH, you can run the docker-compose --version command on the subsequent step with no additional configuration.
Test the installation.
Install Compose on Linux systems
On Linux, you can download the Docker Compose binary from theCompose repository release page on GitHub.Follow the instructions from the link, which involve running the curl commandin your terminal to download the binaries. These step-by-step instructions arealso included below.
For alpine, the following dependency packages are needed:py-pip, python3-dev, libffi-dev, openssl-dev, gcc, libc-dev, rust, cargo and make.
Run this command to download the current stable release of Docker Compose:
To install a different version of Compose, substitute
1.28.6with the version of Compose you want to use.If you have problems installing with
curl, seeAlternative Install Options tab above.Apply executable permissions to the binary:
Note: If the command docker-compose fails after installation, check your path.You can also create a symbolic link to /usr/bin or any other directory in your path.
For example:
Optionally, install command completion for the
bashandzshshell.Test the installation.
Alternative install options
Install using pip
For alpine, the following dependency packages are needed:py-pip, python3-dev, libffi-dev, openssl-dev, gcc, libc-dev, rust, cargo, and make.
Compose can be installed frompypi using pip. If you installusing pip, we recommend that you use avirtualenv because many operatingsystems have python system packages that conflict with docker-composedependencies. See the virtualenvtutorial to getstarted.
Docker Hub Centos 7 Update
If you are not using virtualenv,
pip version 6.0 or greater is required.
Install as a container
Compose can also be run inside a container, from a small bash script wrapper. Toinstall compose as a container run this command:
Install pre-release builds
Docker Hub Centos 7 Download
If you’re interested in trying out a pre-release build, you can download releasecandidates from the Compose repository release page on GitHub.Follow the instructions from the link, which involves running the curl commandin your terminal to download the binaries.
Pre-releases built from the “master” branch are also available for download athttps://dl.bintray.com/docker-compose/master/.
Pre-release builds allow you to try out new features before they are released,but may be less stable.
Upgrading
If you’re upgrading from Compose 1.2 or earlier, remove ormigrate your existing containers after upgrading Compose. This is because, as ofversion 1.3, Compose uses Docker labels to keep track of containers, and yourcontainers need to be recreated to add the labels.
If Compose detects containers that were created without labels, it refusesto run, so that you don’t end up with two sets of them. If you want to keep usingyour existing containers (for example, because they have data volumes you wantto preserve), you can use Compose 1.5.x to migrate them with the followingcommand:
Alternatively, if you’re not worried about keeping them, you can remove them.Compose just creates new ones.
Uninstallation
To uninstall Docker Compose if you installed using curl:
To uninstall Docker Compose if you installed using pip:
Got a “Permission denied” error?
If you get a “Permission denied” error using either of the abovemethods, you probably do not have the proper permissions to removedocker-compose. To force the removal, prepend sudo to either of the abovecommands and run again.
Where to go next
compose, orchestration, install, installation, docker, documentationI’m just getting started with Docker. I’ve thought for years that containerization is a great idea, but I haven’t actually done anything with containers yet. Time to get started.
I ran through a couple tutorials on the Docker docs site and created a cloud.docker.com account to get some basic familiarity.
I found the CentOS container repository on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/_/centos/
Let’s try running it!
$ docker pull centos
$ docker run centos
Did it do anything? It looks like it did something. At least, it didn’t give me an error. What did it do? How do I access it?
$ docker container ls
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
Nothing is actively running. That makes sense, because we’re not telling the containerized OS to do anything — it starts, it doesn’t have anything to do, and so it shuts down immediately. Instead we can tell it to run interactively and with a terminal by specifying a couple options:
-i, --interactive (“allocate a pseudo-TTY”, i.e. a terminal)
-t, --tty
(see docker run --help for details)
$ docker run -i -t centos
[root@4f0b435cdbd7 /]#
I’m in!
What if I want to modify the container? Right now it is pretty bare-bones. For example, this doesn’t even have man installed:
[root@4f0b435cdbd7 /]# man man
bash: man: command not found
[root@4f0b435cdbd7 /]# yum install man
...
[root@4f0b435cdbd7 /]# man man
No manual entry for man
Quite the improvement! Now we need to save our change:
[root@4f0b435cdbd7 /]# exit
$ docker commit 4f0b435cdbd7 man-centos
$ docker run -i -t man-centos
[root@953c512d6707 /]# man man
No manual entry for man
Progress! Now we have a CentOS container where man is already installed. Exciting.
I can’t (that I know of) inspect the container and know whether or not man is installed without running it. That’s fine for many cases, but next I will attempt to figure out how specify via a Dockerfile that man is installed.
