想要在arm linux上安装docker

很多的思路都是基于挂载标准的arm linux ubuntu rootfs，然后通过apt-get install 安装相应的软件；

本人也是基于arm linux ubuntu rootfs来测试的。

指定其storage-driver  : overlay

root@IoTP:~# cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
"storage-driver": "overlay"
}

运行docker ：

systemctl start docker.service

运行成功之后，可以查询

需要注意的话，虽然使用的是标准的arm ubuntu 文件系统，

但是docker的运行也是需要内核的支持的，安装成功，并不代表可以在板子上面正常运行docker images.

可以通过正规的途径来检查内核的配置：

https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/contrib/check-config.sh

linux-4.14.40# ./check-config.sh

把必要的选项选上之的，就可以运行最基础的hello-world镜像了。

root@IoTP:~# docker run hello-world

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.
(arm32v5)
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
