Your file is ready
Before installing the container engine (Docker or Podman), you might need to format the storage volume and mount it.
|
Support for Docker as the container engine for software-only deployments is deprecated. Docker will be replaced with another container engine in a future release. |
About this task
You can skip these steps if you plan to use local storage for the Docker storage volume and have sufficient space available on the host partition containing /var/lib.
Steps
-
Create a file system on the Docker storage volume:
sudo mkfs.ext4 docker-storage-volume-device
-
Mount the Docker storage volume:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/docker sudo mount docker-storage-volume-device /var/lib/docker
-
Add an entry for docker-storage-volume-device to /etc/fstab.
This step ensures that the storage volume will remount automatically after host reboots.
