====== Docker on Slackware ======

There's a Slackware package for Docker on Slackbuilds, but there is a small caveat when installing.  In case you are wondering, the docker build gives you the CE version of Docker.

===== Steps to install =====

As root, first install skpkg:

<code>
# git clone https://github.com/dslackw/slpkg.git
# cd slpkg
# python setup.py install
# slpkg update
</code>

Next you must install google-go-lang

<code>
slpkg -s sbo google-go-lang
</code>

<note>
Log out (from root) and log back in again before you continue to install the rest of the docker packages.  As an alternative it may be enough to simply
run:
<code>
# source /etc/profile.d/go.sh
</code>
</note>

<code>
# slpkg -s sbo tini
# slpkg -s sbo docker-proxy 
# slpkg -s sbo libseccomp 
# slpkg -s sbo runc 
# slpkg -s sbo containerd 
# slpkg -s sbo docker
# slpkg -s sbo docker-compose
</code>

===== Running Docker =====

Next ensure docker starts on boot.  Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local, add this:

<code>
# Start docker
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.docker ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start
fi
</code>

Also, in /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown add this to ensure a clean shutdown:

<code>
# Stop docker
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.docker ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop
fi
</code>

Now you can start docker:

<code>
# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.docker
# /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start
</code>

Check /var/log/docker.log for any issues.
