Docker

Docker Engine and Compose, dev in the group so no command needs sudo, images where you want them.

Module
runtime.docker
Category
Runtimes

What it installs

  • Docker Engine from Docker’s own repository, and the Compose and buildx plugins with it.
  • The dev user in the docker group, so no docker command on this machine needs sudo.
  • A daemon configuration that rotates container logs instead of letting them fill the disk.

What it asks you for

  • Whether to install Compose.
  • Where images live. Empty means /var/lib/docker; give a path if another disk has the room.
  • The size of one log file. Empty means 10m, kept three deep per container.

Good to know

The daemon listens on its socket and on nothing else. Uninstalling takes back the engine and leaves your images, volumes and containers where they are.
