On CentOS 7.2. With proxy and user namespace support.
Installation
------------
To enable user namespace support in the kernel,
grubby --args="user_namespace.enable=1" --update-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.10.1.el7.x86_64
Then install and start the service
tee /etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-'EOF'
[dockerrepo]
name=Docker Repository
baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg
EOF
yum -y install docker-engine
systemctl enable docker.service
systemctl start docker.service
Configuration
-------------
Create this if it doesn't exist
mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
### Proxy
touch /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf
then add this
[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/"
### User Namespace Support
touch /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/user-namespace.conf
then add this
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon --userns-remap=dockremap:dockremap -H fd://
Create the `dockremap` user and group
groupadd dockremap
useradd -g dockremap dockremap
Then create the subordinate user and group ranges
echo 'dockremap:100000:65535' >> /etc/subuid
echo 'dockremap:100000:65535' >> /etc/subgid
Working with Docker
-------------------
Here's [a fantastic cheatsheet](https://github.com/wsargent/docker-cheat-sheet). Here's [a shorter one](https://coderwall.com/p/2es5jw/docker-cheat-sheet-with-examples).
Shared Volumes
--------------
Create one in a container and give it a memorable name
docker create -v /mystuff --name mystuff_container centos:latest /bin/true
Now have other containers use it
docker run -ti --volumes-from mystuff_container centos:latest /bin/bash
* These are persistent and won't go away when you stop a container. Yay! You can see this by using `docker inspect` to figure out where that volume is (usually in `/var/lib/docker` some place) and taking a look inside.
* Using the same image saves on disk space, [according to the documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/containers/dockervolumes).
