There are a few legacy drivers such as devicemapper and aufs which were intended for compatibility with older Linux kernels, but these have no advantages over overlay2 on Arch Linux.
The default overlay2 driver has good performance and is a good choice for all modern Linux kernels and filesystems. The storage driver controls how images and containers are stored and managed on your Docker host. If you wish to use the command line flags instead, use systemd drop-in files to override the ExecStart directive in rvice.įor more information about options in daemon.json see dockerd documentation. According to the Docker official documentation, the configuration file approach is preferred. The Docker daemon can be configured either through a configuration file at /etc/docker/daemon.json or by adding command line flags to the rvice systemd unit. See the Docker Getting Started guide for more usage documentation. See the Docker API developer documentation for more information. Note that if the Docker daemon stops or restarts, all currently running Docker containers are also stopped or restarted.Īlso note that it is possible to send requests to the Docker API and control the Docker daemon without the use of the docker CLI command. Understanding the relationship between the client ( docker), server ( rvice) and containers is important to successfully administering Docker. Typically, users use Docker by running docker CLI commands, which in turn request the Docker daemon to perform actions which in turn result in management of Docker containers.
Install the docker package or, for the development version, the docker-git AUR package.
Up to you.Įdit: cleaning the desktop is also huge. Those instructions may not resolve your issue, but they’re, in my opinion, the most logical next step towards reaching a solution based on the issue described.
Regardless, this will help you determine whether or not your machine can run the software at all, so it should bring you in the right direction towards debugging your issue.įeel free to wave off my instructions if you want the computer to not run the software. Right, but restarting the machine clears the memory resources being allocated for processes that you may not even know are running.Įven if you “don’t use it much” or “all the applications are closed already”, restarting the machine works wonders due to the behind-the-scenes processes associated with turning off and turning on the machine.
