In the Docker ecosystem, there's a tool called Docker-Machine. It was designed to simplify the installation of Docker by providing a consistent command-line interface across different operating systems—whether it's Linux, Windows, or macOS. This means that no matter which Linux distribution you're using, the process to set up a Docker environment remains the same.
Docker-Machine is not limited to Linux; it can also be used on Windows and Mac, making it a versatile tool for developers who work across multiple platforms. One of its key features is the ability to manage multiple remote Docker hosts, allowing users to control and interact with various Docker environments from a single machine.
During my experimentation, I tried installing Docker-Machine on CentOS 7. However, I found the process to be more complicated than directly installing Docker. The setup involved several steps, including kernel updates, repository configurations, and VirtualBox installation.
To begin, I had to enable CPU virtualization in VMware. Then, I upgraded the system's packages and installed the latest kernel development files:
```bash
# yum update
# yum install -y kernel-devel
```
Next, I configured the VirtualBox YUM repository and installed VirtualBox:
```bash
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo
# yum install -y VirtualBox-5.2
# vboxconfig
```
After that, I proceeded with the Docker-Machine installation. The latest version at the time was 0.13.0:
```bash
# curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.13.0/docker-machine-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
# chmod a+x !$
```
Finally, I created a Docker host using VirtualBox:
```bash
# docker-machine create --driver virtualbox my-host
```
Unfortunately, the ISO download failed due to network issues, which added some frustration to the process.
In conclusion, unless you specifically need Docker-Machine for managing multiple Docker hosts, it's generally easier to install Docker directly on Linux. The Docker-Machine setup process is quite tedious and may not be worth the effort for most users.
Here are some common Docker-Machine commands:
- **Create a virtual machine**: `docker-machine create [OPTIONS] [arg...]`
- **Remove a virtual machine**: `docker-machine rm [OPTIONS] [arg...]`
- **SSH into a virtual machine**: `docker-machine ssh [arg...]`
- **Configure Docker client environment variables**: `docker-machine env [OPTIONS] [arg...]`
- **Inspect machine details**: `docker-machine inspect`
- **List all machines**: `docker-machine ls [OPTIONS] [arg...]`
- **Check machine status**: `docker-machine status [arg...]`
- **Start a machine**: `docker-machine start [arg...]`
- **Stop a machine**: `docker-machine stop [arg...]`
- **Restart a machine**: `docker-machine restart [arg...]`
These commands make it easy to manage Docker hosts, but the initial setup can be quite involved.
