Install Intel® Clear Containers 3.0 on RHEL

Pre-requisites

Install Docker-EE or Docker-CE on RHEL.

Required setup

You are required to run the sudo command without specifying a password to set up the Clear Containers 3.X installation. Verify this requirement with the following commands:

$ su -
# echo "$some_user ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | (EDITOR="tee -a" visudo)
$ exit

The following steps show you how to install Clear Containers 3.X

1. Ensure the system packages are up-to-date:

$ sudo yum -y update

2. Install Git:

$ sudo yum install -y git

3. Create the installation directory and clone the repository:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/go/src/github/clearcontainers
$ cd $HOME/go/src/github/clearcontainers
$ git clone https://github.com/clearcontainers/runtime
$ cd runtime

4. Run the installation script:

$ script -efc ./installation/rhel-setup.sh

Note:

• The script(1) command is not strictly necessary to run the installation script but using this command writes a log of the installation to the typescript. Administrators might find the log useful to see the changes made and when debugging issues.

Verify the Clear Containers 3.X installation is successful:

1. Check the cc-runtime version:

$ cc-runtime --version

2. Test that a Clear Container can be created:

$ sudo docker run -ti busybox sh
