Docker on Debian

Packages installed: debootstrap and friends.

I use Debian testing/jessie (now stable), and put sid into sources.list so I can apt-get install docker.io, because docker.io removed from testing in late March 2015 and available only in sid.

Update your packages list

# apt-get update

Install docker.io with:

# apt-get install docker.io

Use mkimage.sh to create Docker image

$ sudo /usr/share/docker.io/contrib/mkimage.sh -t ${USER}/minbase debootstrap --variant=minbase jessie http://yourrepo/debian/

Try to run 'echo'

$ sudo docker run -i ${USER}/minbase echo "hello citra"

Show images:

# docker images

Show all running containers:

# docker ps -a

Remove image:

# docker rmi <image>
