Installing docker on parrot os


I am new to Linux and using Parrot Os (Home Edition). I am trying to install Docker on the same. But have been unable to do so.

This is for running MySQL and I also think that it will be useful to me later. I tried installing docker using APT package manager as follows:

sudo apt-get install docker

The installation completes but after that it when i try to start the service, it says

Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.service not found.

Since I am an newbie, please give detailed answer or place links so that i can read it myself? Thanks.


Solution

  • Just confirm the docker installation after sudo apt-get install docker is successful.

    From the error, it seems docker.service file is not created after installation.

    Try to create the docker.service file manually. Refer this.

    You probably need to create /etc/systemd/system/docker.socket file with these contents. And /etc/systemd/system/docker.service file with these contents.

    Hope this helps.
