Docker is a containerization platform that makes it easy to deploy and run applications on different operating systems. Installing Docker on NetBSD is a simple process, and this tutorial will guide you through the steps.
Before you begin, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
To use Docker on NetBSD, you will need to install some necessary dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
su -
pkgin update
pkgin install bash
pkgin install curl
pkgin install git
pkgin install sudo
Once you have installed the dependencies, visit https://download.docker.com/bsd to get the latest version of Docker for NetBSD. Copy the link address of the package file you want to download.
Then, use the curl command with the copied link to download the Docker package. Run the following commands in the terminal:
cd /tmp
sudo curl -L -ko docker.tgz <paste the link address here>
Next, extract the Docker package and move it to the /usr/local/bin directory:
sudo tar xzf docker.tgz
sudo chmod +x docker/*
sudo mv docker/* /usr/local/bin/
To verify if Docker is installed correctly, run the following command:
sudo docker version
If the installation is successful, you will see the version details of the Docker client and server.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Docker on NetBSD. Now you can start using Docker to containerize and deploy your applications.
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!
