[SOLVED] Installing Docker on CentOS 6 after removal of docker-io ~ Linux Fixes
For some time, the docker-io
package has been used to install Docker on CentOS 6.
Since early this month, this package no longer appears to be available:
[root@e0-01.p:0 yum.repos.d]# yum install docker-io
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto

No package docker-io available.

docker-io
was previously part of the epel repository and has been the recommended way to install Docker (albeit, an older version) on CentOS 6 in a number of places.
Is there any other way Docker can be installed on CentOS 6?
I’m not sure why docker-io
suddenly disappeared, but the same version previously available through the epel repository can be installed directly from this rpm hosted by Docker:
[root@server]# yum install
https://get.docker.com/rpm/1.7.1/centos-6/RPMS/x86_64/docker-engine-1.7.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
[root@server]# docker --version
Docker version 1.7.0, build 0baf609
