Docker is an open-source platform that allows developers to easily build, ship, and run their applications in containers. Here's how you can install Docker on FreeBSD Latest.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Begin by updating your FreeBSD system to the latest version. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
freebsd-update fetch install
This command will update the FreeBSD system, and you will be prompted to reboot your system after the update is complete.
To install Docker on FreeBSD, use the following command in the terminal:
pkg install docker
This command will install the latest version of Docker on your system.
Once Docker is installed, start the Docker service by executing the following command:
service docker onestart
This command will start the Docker daemon in the background and enable it to start automatically at boot time.
After the Docker service has started, you can test it by running the following command:
docker run hello-world
This command downloads a sample Docker image (hello-world) and runs it in a container. If everything is working correctly, you will see the following message:
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Docker on FreeBSD Latest.
Docker is an essential tool for developers who want to build and run their applications in containers. With this tutorial, you now have everything you need to install Docker on your FreeBSD system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
