dkumor 910f11878c Arch docs: Added lxc-docker-nightly AUR package, modified deps

lxc-docker-nightly installs latest build. Removed go from dependencies, as it is not needed in lxc-docker and lxc-docker-nightly. The -git package will flag go as a dependency upon installation.

Arch Linux

Installing on Arch Linux is not officially supported but can be handled via one of the following AUR packages:

The lxc-docker package will install the latest tagged version of docker. The lxc-docker-git package will build from the current master branch. The lxc-docker-nightly package will install the latest build.

Dependencies

Docker depends on several packages which are specified as dependencies in the AUR packages. The core dependencies are:

bridge-utils
device-mapper
iproute2
lxc

Installation

The instructions here assume yaourt is installed. See Arch User Repository for information on building and installing packages from the AUR if you have not done so before.

yaourt -S lxc-docker

Starting Docker

There is a systemd service unit created for docker. To start the docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker

To start on system boot:

sudo systemctl enable docker

Network Configuration

IPv4 packet forwarding is disabled by default on Arch, so internet access from inside the container may not work.

To enable the forwarding, run as root on the host system:

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

And, to make it persistent across reboots, enable it on the host's /etc/sysctl.d/docker.conf:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
