Install Docker CE on Fedora
WARNING: DO NOT install Docker with dnf directly without configuring dnf source.
Prerequisites
OS Requirement
Docker CE supports the following Fedora versions:
- 28
- 29
- 30
Uninstall the Old Versions
The old versions of Docker are called docker or docker-engine, you can have them uninstalled with the following command:
$ sudo dnf remove docker \
docker-client \
docker-client-latest \
docker-common \
docker-latest \
docker-latest-logrotate \
docker-logrotate \
docker-selinux \
docker-engine-selinux \
docker-engine
Install with dnf
Execute the following command to install the dependencies.
$ sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
Due to the network issues in China mainland, it is highly recommended for Chinese users to use Chinese sources. Please refer to the official sources in the comments(they are replaced by a Chinese source).
Use the following command to add dnf source.
$ sudo dnf config-manager \
--add-repo \
https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/docker-ce/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
# Official source
# $ sudo dnf config-manager \
# --add-repo \
# https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
If you want to use the test version of Docker CE, use the following command:
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-test
As for nightly version:
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-nightly
You are also free to disable the test version of Docker CE:
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled docker-ce-test
Install Docker CE
Update dnf source cache，and then install docker-ce.
$ sudo dnf update
$ sudo dnf install docker-ce
You can also use the following command to install a certain docker verion you want:
$ dnf list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
docker-ce.x86_64 18.06.1.ce-3.fc28 docker-ce-stable
$ sudo dnf -y install docker-ce-18.06.1.ce
Install with Automatic Scripts
To simplify the installation process during test or development, Docker official provides a convenient installation script, you can install docker on Fedora with the following script:
$ curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
$ sudo sh get-docker.sh --mirror Aliyun
After execution, the script will have everything prepared, and have installed the stable version on your OS.
Start Docker CE
$ sudo systemctl enable docker
$ sudo systemctl start docker
Add Docker Usergroups
Command docker uses Unix socket to communicate with Docker engine by default. Only users of root and docker groups can communicate with Unix socket of the Docker engine.root user is not directly used on Linux systems in general for security. Therefore, it is better to add users who need to use docker to the docker user group.
create docker group:
$ sudo groupadd docker
add current user to docker group:
$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Exit current terminal and relogin to test.
Verify the Installation
$ docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world

Digest: sha256:0add3ace90ecb4adbf7777e9aacf18357296e799f81cabc9fde470971e499788
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
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.
(amd64)
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

If it shows the above message, it means your installation is successful.
Registry Mirror(In China)
If you pull docker images very slowly, then you can configure Registry Mirror.
