Sorry. I know that this or a similar question has been asked many times, and trying to find a decent answer i get redirected to reddit and blocked because of my VPN. I am looking for the preferred version of the above OS’s for installing Docker based on easiness and stability/reliability once installed. Is there such a distro as DockerOS or a Distro with Docker preinstalled? I thought I read something like that last year when I was threatening to pull my finger out the first time and get something up and running, but now I am not sure whether or not I have imagined it.
TIA
There is no such distribution. And it’s not surprising. That is essentially one package with runc. I also recommend using an podman instead of docker. Then you won’t even need to do anything except apt install podman / dnf install podman.
UPD: At the moment, even systemd supports containers. systemd-nspawn daemon…
Thanks, I’ve never heard of podman, I will have a look at that.
I had a rough time finding out whether or not regular docker containers are compatible with podman.
Do you have any good resources you could link regarding that and podman use?
Short answer: Yes. and you can install extra/podman-docker 5.5.2-1 ( Emulate Docker CLI using podman ) for full compatible.
Long answer: you can find all in official docs. https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/ . in general, the first step is always better not to ask abstract question in Google, but to read the official documentation
I’ve just went to the betterstack podman page after the above post, and there’s a good video that covers what you asked, there.
