I've installed Ubuntu 17.04 (VirtualBox). But since I have Ubuntu 17.04, it seems like docker is not yet available for Ubuntu 17.04. Is there any workaround to install Docker on Ubuntu 17.04?
There is no official support of docker in Ubuntu 17.04 yet. An alternative is to download and install the binary of docker from. For example if you want to install docker version 17.04.0-ce from binary, follow these steps: $ wget $ tar xzvf docker-17.04.0-ce.tgz $ cd docker This docker directory contains all the binaries. You need to add this directory to your. You will need to manually start dockerd first. Contains more details about how to install and run docker from a binary. This answer is now out of date, but it didn't work for me, probably due to version mismatches (esp.
But it's a moot point now that docker.com ( not the ubuntu repos) has a docker-ce release 17.06 for Ubuntu 17.04. (These versions are a little confusing: docker-ce released in June of 2017 is v17.06). If installing docker-ce from docker.com, then docker-compose will have to be installed from docker-compose's git release, or via sudo -H pip install docker-compose, and not from ubuntu repos, which are now useless for docker related stuff (as of mid-2017). – Jul 31 '17 at 0:12.

Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux operating system based on free software. Introducing the New Docker Hub: Combining the best of Docker Hub, Cloud and Store.
The information in this thready is outdated and can result in malfunctioning docker installation; ubuntu zesty is now supported, and packages are available; see the installation manual: Uninstall old versions Older versions of Docker were called docker or docker-engine.
Are you a Linux user who switched to Mac when you saw that Docker is now available as a native Mac app? Or maybe you’ve heard how great Docker is and you want to give it a try? Did you think that you could just take your Docker Compose file, launch your project and have everything work out for you? Well you were right. Docker for Mac is a pretty smart invention.
It gives you the whole Docker API available from the terminal, even though Docker itself wasn’t created to work on Macs. To make all this possible, a light Alpine Linux image is fired up underneath with xhyve MacOS native virtualization. Because of this, you need to allocate CPU cores and RAM for the VM. Things won’t be as close to bare metal as they are in Linux. If you are – for example – a Java developer who uses Docker to run compiled jar, you may even not notice the difference. At least, as long as you don’t try to do any heavy database work.
Docker for Mac and full sync on flush issue First, let’s look at MacOS: “For applications that require tighter guarantees about the integrity of their data, Mac OS X provides the FFULLFSYNC fcntl. The FFULLFSYNC fcntl asks the drive to flush all buffered data to permanent storage.
Applications, such as databases, that require a strict ordering of writes should use FFULLFSYNC to ensure that their data is written in the order they expect.” In short – to keep our data safe – every change made in the database needs to be stored on disk in an exact order. This will guarantee that during power loss or any unexpected event your data will be safe. Actually, this make sense. IF you decide to setup a database inside Docker for Mac on a production environment However In most cases, though, you’ll be using your machine for dev purposes, where you don’t care to recreate database from fixtures. If you have a Macbook, even power loss isn’t a threat.
In this case, you may decide to disable this behaviour as FFULLFSYNC has a negative performance drawback in Docker for Mac While reading about Docker issues on Github, I found a solution provided. Things will get a lot faster when you type those few lines into your terminal: $ cd /Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/database/ $ git reset -hard HEAD is now at cafabd0 Docker started $ cat com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/disk/full-sync-on-flush true $ echo false com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/disk/full-sync-on-flush $ git add com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/disk/full-sync-on-flush $ git commit -s -m 'Disable flushing' master dc32fcc Disable flushing 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Actually, someone even placed to make things easier. Does it really work, you’ll ask?
I created a to check this. This test uses a standard Docker MySQL image without tweaks, and an image with sysbench installed. In my test case, I decided to use one thread (I only allocated 1 core for Docker on my Macbook) and a table with 10000 rows.
I ran it twice – once with flushing enabled (default), and once with flushing disabled. If you’re skeptical about performance gain after changing just one value from true to false, then let the results below change your mind.
