Documentation - statement reguarding LXC not supporting Docker is Not Correct #215

Closed bmullan closed 3 years ago

bmullan commented 3 years ago

In the Documentation Section:

https://docs.netmaker.org/server-installation.html#linux-install-without-docker

It currently states:

Most systems support Docker, but some, such as LXC, do not.

However, Docker can certainly be run Nested inside an LXD container.

Refer to the following in the LXD Documentation: https://lxd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

How can I run docker inside a LXD container?

In order to run Docker inside a LXD container the security.nesting property of the container should be set to true.

lxc config set security.nesting true

Note that LXD containers cannot load kernel modules, so depending on your Docker configuration you may need to have the needed extra kernel modules loaded by the host.

You can do so by setting a comma separate list of kernel modules that your container needs with:

lxc config set linux.kernel_modules

We have also received some reports that creating a /.dockerenv file in your container can help Docker ignore some errors it's getting due to running in a nested environment.

Thanks @bmullan, I will remove that statement from the docs.
