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

Note 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.
Steps

  1. Install Docker by following the instructions for your Linux distribution.

    Note If Docker is not included with your Linux distribution, you can download it from the Docker website.

  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 1.11.0 or later.
