Oracle Linux 7.2 Installation
To get ready for this Blog I performed a standard Linux 7.2 installation, during the ‘Software Selection’ part of the wizard selected ‘Base Environent’ of ‘Server with GUI’ and the following ‘Add-Ons for Selected Evironment’
- Compatibility Libraries
- Development Tools
If you need further install details, I have a seperate Blog posting on performing an Oracle Linux 7.2 installation.
Kernel Upgrade
The Oracle Linux R7 Update 2 ships with a 3.8.13 Kernel however Docker requires a Kernel of 4.1.12 or higher on Oracle Linux, this kernel supports the Docker btrfs storage engine on both Oracle Linux 6 and 7.
Oracle Linux Docker Prerequisites
With yum this is easliy fixed, by telling yum to use the release 4 Kernel repository.
[root@oel7 ~]# uname -r
3.8.13-98.7.1.el7uek.x86_64
[root@oel7 ~]# yum list kernel-uek*
Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo

kernel-uek-firmware.noarch 3.8.13-118.10.2.el7uek ol7_UEKR3
OK, lets tell yum to use our new repository
[root@oel7 ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo
[ol7_UEKR3]
name=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/UEKR3/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
[ol7_UEKR4]
name=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/UEKR4/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1

[ol7_addons]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Add ons ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/addons/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
As you can see from above I have disabled ol7_UEKR3, enabled the ol7_addons and added a new section form ol7_UEKR4, we can now use yum to pick up the new 4.1.12 Kernel.
[root@oel7 ~]# yum list kernel-uek*

kernel-uek-firmware.noarch 4.1.12-37.6.3.el7uek ol7_UEKR4
Ok lets let yum do it’s thing.
[root@oel7 ~]# yum update
Time for a coffee…
SELinux support on Oracle Linux 7
Docker requires SElinux to be set to Permissive or Disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux to use the btrfs storage engine on Oracle Linux 7, so lets change it now if not already set before we reboot.
[root@oel7 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
SELINUX=permissive
[root@oel7 ~]# setenforce Permissive
Reboot to pick up the new 4.1.12 Kernel
[root@oel7 ~]# uname -r
4.1.12-37.6.3.el7uek.x86_64
Docker 1.10
As we have updated the yum repository to use ol7_addons we can now install the docker engine.

Docker Installation Check
First let’s start the service
[root@oel7 ~]# systemctl start docker.service
Now we can check the docker with the ‘Hello World’ container.
[root@oel7 ~]# docker run hello-world
Unable to find image ‘hello-world:latest’ locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
c04b14da8d14: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:0256e8a36e2070f7bf2d0b0763dbabdd67798512411de4cdcf9431a1feb60fd9
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.
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

Docker 1.12
If you want to use a slighty new version of docker you can go directly to the docker projects own yum repository, the Docker install check step is the same.
