Trying to install docker on rhel7

[Unix_Guys]

Need help/document :- how to install docker on RHL7 server.

I tried to install docker in RHEL7 server but did not get the package through yum repo and i did through manual - downladed the package and install but it is asking to install many dependency. It is very tough to download every dependency because each and every dependency also need some depedent package.

Please suggest.

Hi Vijay,

RHEL Extra repository als provides docker, this release is supported. EPEL releases are not.

You should try out podman, it's part of the Red Hat Container Tools available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, uses the Open Container Format, but is also compatible with docker.

Hi STM,

For RHEL 7 Red Hat Container Tools is not a Product. Podman is part of the RHEL 7 Extras repository.

For learning purposes is it wise to use Docker as it is still the engine of OpenShift 3.x
