| waltman | What's the preferred way (if any) to install Docker on 18.04 -- apt install docker.io? snap install docker? Some other way? | 01:45 |
|---|---|---|
| waltman | apologies for asking an actual ubuntu question on the channel :) | 01:51 |
| H8| | waltman: probably the former | 02:29 |
| H8| | Sticking with the distro package manager is always preferred to using something like snaps (that's probably an opinion, but) | 02:29 |
| === H8| is now known as jthan | ||
| waltman | Turns out they've also got their own repo: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository | 02:29 |
| waltman | But I think the docker.io package is sufficient for now. | 02:30 |
| jthan | There's always udocker | 02:31 |
| waltman | What's that? | 02:31 |
| jthan | https://github.com/indigo-dc/udocker | 02:31 |
| jthan | Depending what you're trying to do with it | 02:31 |
| jthan | don't need root privs | 02:31 |
| jthan | it's also easy to just download and quickly build if you're just messing around | 02:32 |
| jthan | vs. installing at a system level | 02:32 |
| jthan | I know very little about it except that it exists, so YMMV and I can't speak to its security implications if there are any | 02:33 |
| waltman | We use docker at work. This week a coworker's doing a series of classes on using it. I think I'm better off using the real deal. | 02:33 |
| jthan | Oh, well in that case, probably. | 02:34 |
| waltman | I got the hello-world image to run, and I also built a simple shell. | 02:34 |
| jthan | I stick to singularity. | 02:35 |
| waltman | This is a really good time for this talks. I've been working in docker for a couple of months now, and today's session answered a bunch of questions I haven't had a chance to look into. | 02:36 |
| waltman | I've mostly been using it as a black box. | 02:37 |
| jthan | it's pretty easy to just do it because it works and not understand anything that's actually going on. | 02:38 |
| waltman | But it's pretty opaque. I didn't really understand the difference between docker and docker-compose until today! | 02:44 |

| swift110 | hey | 15:10 |
| msalvatore | hey | 15:32 |
| waltman | yo | 15:53 |
| swift110 | how are you msalvatore and waltman | 16:56 |
| msalvatore | I'm just dandy, swift110. How are you? | 17:01 |
