Docker in xcp-ng

[fred974]

Hi,

I would like to run docker on xcp-ng and I saw this article but I am not sure how this work. Do I still need a VM to run docker? Do I run docker pull ubuntu directly from the xcp-ng host? How does anyone install docker so it run as a VM?

Thank you

Hi,

Even the Dom0 is a VM, so yes, in all cases, you need a VM to run Docker

If you want to use RunX, you can use docker (or podman command) in the dom0. If not, you can run into any VM you created in XCP-ng.

Hi @olivierlambert For give me here but Dom0 is the xcp-ng host correct? If yes do I run yum install docker on the xcp-ng host? Is RunX already part of the xcp-ng system?

Have you read this thread? https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/5085/runx-tech-preview

Also, in Xen, there's no "host" per se:
