Installing Docker

The StorageGRID system runs on Ubuntu or Debian as a collection of Docker containers. Before you can install StorageGRID, you must install Docker.

1. Install Docker by following the instructions for your Linux distribution.
   Note: Docker might be included with your Linux distribution, or you can download it from Docker.
2. Ensure Docker has been enabled and started by running the following two commands:

   sudo systemctl enable docker

   sudo systemctl start docker

3. Confirm you have installed the expected version of Docker by entering the following:

   sudo docker version

   The Client and Server versions must be 1.10.3 or later.
