Running Docker on Bananian

noc

Hello world,

Has anybody tried (and succeeded) running Docker on Bananian? I found a howto for Raspbian here, but that certainly needs to be modified to work on Bananian.

Regard,
Jochen

Please post the link for the Raspbian howto and I will check.

LXC, btw works fine with release 14.09 coming next week.

The "here" was clickable. But I added the link again in a more obvious way. Another interesting link might be this (haven't tried it yet): http://resin.io/blog/release-docker-0-7-2-for-arm/

I second this, would be interesting to know if a docker image will be available for bananian

    Hi,

I think Docker requires a newer Kernel (having >=3.9 in mind), so we might have to wait for it.

Strange, looks like someone already ran docker.io on a rpi

Step 3: Installing docker
The actual install of docker is relative easy. There is a docker version compatible with the ARM processor (that is used within the Raspberry Pi). This docker is part of the package manager of Arch Linux and the used version is 1.0.0. At the time of writing this blog docker release version 1.1.2. The missing features are

    Enhanced security for the LXC driver.
    .dockerignore support.
    Pause containers during docker commit.
    Add --tail to docker logs.

You will install docker and start is as a service on system boot by the commands:
1
2
       
pacman -S docker
systemctl enable docker

Arch Linux has Docker built-in. I did the below and works great

Download latest Arch Linux for Banana Pi
http://www.lemaker.org/resources/9-96/archlinux_for_bananapi.html

Boot and login

1. user: root
   
2. pass: bananapi

Copy the Code

# Change root password #

1. passwd

Copy the Code

# Enlarge Partion #

1. fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
   
2. d
   
3. 2
   
4. n
   
5. p
   
6. 2
   
7. [ENTER FOR DEFAULT]
   
8. [ENTER FOR DEFAULT]
   
9. w
   
10. reboot
    
11. 
    
12. resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

Copy the Code

# UPDATE #

1. pacman -Syu

Copy the Code

# INSTALL DOCKER #

1. pacman -S docker

Copy the Code

# ENABLE DOCKER SERVICE #

1. systemctl enable docker.service
   
2. reboot

Copy the Code

# CHECK #

1. docker version

Copy the Code

# RUN AN ARM DEBIAN CONTAINER #

1. docker run -i -t mazzolino/armhf-ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash

Copy the Code

Tested working!

You need to use ARM based images for your containers.
https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/mazzolino/armhf-ubuntu/ is a good base Ubuntu container

I had a few problems with some of those armhf images, so I have created a Bananian base image.

1. docker run -i -t matthuisman/bananian:14.09 /bin/bash

Copy the Code

Hi,

This does not seem to work: i installed the latest Arch image from lemaker for the BananaPI.
But I get the following error when trying to build an image with above mentioned Ubuntu images:

1. n/bashlemaker polipo-container]# docker run -i -t matthuisman/bananian:14.09 /bi
   
2. Unable to find image 'matthuisman/bananian:14.09' locally
   
3. Pulling repository matthuisman/bananian
   
4. 704d4a288099: Download complete
   
5. Status: Downloaded newer image for matthuisman/bananian:14.09
   
6. FATA[0171] Error response from daemon: Cannot start container 8b6e195186ef1454349a85eb116c335b571cbdbc60b60f3a4dbfc448b9183ad3: [8] System error: no such device

Copy the Code

It seems related to: http://forum.lemaker.org/forum.p ... mp;highlight=docker

So what are my best options to run Docker on my banana pi and run images/containers with it?

Any update?  Still getting "no such device" error using the latest arch image.  Struggling to build a kernel with the right flags.  A howto would be great.
