Install Docker and Docker Compose#

  1. Log on to your Privacera host as gcp-user or a user with 'sudo' privileges.

  2. Install Docker on the VM.

    Run the following command.

    sudo yum install -y wget
sudo yum install -y docker
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/docker

    Update the OPTIONS variable with the following:

    OPTIONS="--default-ulimit nofile=1024000:1024000"

    Run the following command.

    sudo service docker start
sudo usermod -a -G docker $VM_USER

    Errors

    If you are seeing any errors during install, see possible error messages and actions.

  3. Install Docker Compose

    If Docker Compose is not configured in Ansible, then run the following commands:

    DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION="1.23.2"
sudo  curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/${DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION}/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
