[01:45] <waltman> What's the preferred way (if any) to install Docker on 18.04 -- apt install docker.io? snap install docker? Some other way?
[01:51] <waltman> apologies for asking an actual ubuntu question on the channel :)
[02:29] <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] <waltman> Turns out they've also got their own repo: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository
[02:30] <waltman> But I think the docker.io package is sufficient for now.
[02:31] <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
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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.
[02:34] <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.
[02:35] <jthan> I stick to singularity.
[02:36] <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.
[02:37] <waltman> I've mostly been using it as a black box.
[02:38] <jthan> it's pretty easy to just do it because it works and not understand anything that's actually going on.
[02:44] <waltman> But it's pretty opaque. I didn't really understand the difference between docker and docker-compose until today!
[09:48] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, critters and everything else
[15:10] <swift110> hey
[15:32] <msalvatore> hey
[15:53] <waltman> yo
[16:56] <swift110> how are you msalvatore and waltman
[17:01] <msalvatore> I'm just dandy, swift110. How are you?
