        <section><h1>Installing Docker on Arch Linux</h1><blockquote>Mon 7th March 2022 By David T. Sadler.</blockquote><h2>Installing Docker</h2><p>Docker is installed via pacman.</p><pre><code class="shell">$ sudo pacman -S docker</code></pre><h2>Starting Docker Engine</h2><p>Start the Docker daemon which provides the Docker Engine. This process serves the Docker API and manages Docker containers.</p><pre><code class="shell">$ sudo systemctl start docker.service</code></pre><p>If you want Docker Engine to automatically start when you system boots issue the below command.</p><pre><code class="shell">$ sudo systemctl enable docker.service</code></pre><p>Verify that Docker Engine is running.</p><pre><code class="shell">$ docker info</code></pre><p>Verify that you can run containers. The below will download the latest Arch Linux image and use it to run a &quot;Hello World&quot; bash script in the container.</p><pre><code class="shell">$ docker run -it --rm archlinux bash -c &quot;echo Hello World&quot;</code></pre><h2>Problems </h2><p>You may get an error when running docker info.</p><pre><code class="shell">$ docker info

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.39/containers/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied</code></pre><p>The issue is that the user you&#039;re running the docker command as is not a member of the docker group. Therefore you can either run the command via sudo or add your user to the docker user group, re-login, and restart docker.service.</p><h3>Links</h3><a href="/posts/docker/">Docker - Read More Posts.</a><p>I don&#039;t have comments as I don&#039;t want to manage them.
