title: Get Docker CE for Fedora
toc_max: 4
---
To get started with Docker CE on Fedora, make sure you
[meet the prerequisites](#prerequisites), then
[install Docker](#install-docker).
## Prerequisites
### Docker EE customers
Docker EE is not supported on Fedora. For a list of supported operating systems
and distributions for different Docker editions, see
[Docker variants](/install/index.md#docker-variants).
### OS requirements
To install Docker, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Fedora versions:
- 25
- 26
- 27
### Uninstall old versions
Older versions of Docker were called `docker` or `docker-engine`. If these are
installed, uninstall them, along with associated dependencies.
```bash
$ sudo dnf remove docker \
docker-common \
docker-selinux \
docker-engine-selinux \
docker-engine
```
It's OK if `dnf` reports that none of these packages are installed.
The contents of `/var/lib/docker/`, including images, containers, volumes, and
networks, are preserved. The Docker CE package is now called `docker-ce`.
## Install Docker CE
You can install Docker CE in different ways, depending on your needs:
- Most users
[set up Docker's repositories](#install-using-the-repository) and install
from them, for ease of installation and upgrade tasks. This is the
recommended approach.
- Some users download the RPM package and
[install it manually](#install-from-a-package) and manage
upgrades completely manually. This is useful in situations such as installing
Docker on air-gapped systems with no access to the internet.
- In testing and development environments, some users choose to use automated
[convenience scripts](#install-using-the-convenience-script) to install Docker.
### Install using the repository
Before you install Docker CE for the first time on a new host machine, you need
to set up the Docker repository. Afterward, you can install and update Docker CE
from the repository.
#### Set up the repository
{% assign download-url-base = "https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora" %}
1. Install the `dnf-plugins-core` package which provides the commands to manage
your DNF repositories from the command line.
```bash
$ sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
```
2. Use the following command to set up the **stable** repository. You always
need the **stable** repository, even if you want to install builds from the
**edge** or **test** repositories as well.
```bash
$ sudo dnf config-manager \
--add-repo \
{{ download-url-base }}/docker-ce.repo
```
3. **Optional**: Enable the **edge** and **test** repositories. These
repositories are included in the `docker.repo` file above but are disabled
by default. You can enable them alongside the stable repository.
```bash
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-edge
```
```bash
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-test
```
You can disable the **edge** or **test** repository by running the
`dnf config-manager` command with the `--disable` flag. To re-enable it, use
the `--enable` flag. The following command disables the **edge** repository.
```bash
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled docker-ce-edge
```
> **Note**: Starting with Docker 17.06, stable releases are also pushed to
> the **edge** and **test** repositories.
[Learn about **stable** and **edge** channels](/install/index.md).
#### Install Docker CE
1. Install the latest version of Docker CE, or go to the next step to install a
specific version.
```bash
$ sudo dnf install docker-ce
```
If this is the first time you are installing a package from a recently added
repository, you are prompted to accept the GPG key, and
the key's fingerprint is shown. Verify that the fingerprint matches
`060A 61C5 1B55 8A7F 742B 77AA C52F EB6B 621E 9F35` and if so, accept the
key.
> Got multiple Docker repositories?
>
> If you have multiple Docker repositories enabled, installing
> or updating without specifying a version in the `dnf install` or
> `dnf update` command always installs the highest possible version,
> which may not be appropriate for your stability needs.
{:.warning-vanilla}
2. On production systems, you should install a specific version of Docker CE
instead of always using the latest. List the available versions. This
example uses the `sort -r` command to sort the results by version number,
highest to lowest, and is truncated.
```bash
$ dnf list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
docker-ce.x86_64 {{ site.docker_ce_stable_version }}.0.fc26 docker-ce-stable
```
The contents of the list depend upon which repositories are enabled, and
are specific to your version of Fedora (indicated by the `.fc26` suffix
on the version, in this example). Choose a specific version to install. The
second column is the version string. The third column is the repository
name, which indicates which repository the package is from and by extension
its stability level. To install a specific version, append the version
string to the package name and separate them by a hyphen (`-`):
```bash
$ sudo dnf -y install docker-ce-<VERSION>
```
4. Start Docker.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
5. Verify that Docker CE is installed correctly by running the `hello-world`
image.
```bash
$ sudo docker run hello-world
```
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
Docker CE is installed and running. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker
commands. Continue to
[Linux postinstall](/install/linux/linux-postinstall.md) to allow
non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration
steps.
#### Upgrade Docker CE
To upgrade Docker CE, follow the
[installation instructions](#install-docker), choosing the new version you want
to install.
### Install from a package
If you cannot use Docker's repository to install Docker, you can download the
`.rpm` file for your release and install it manually. You need to download
a new file each time you want to upgrade Docker CE.
1. Go to [{{ download-url-base }}/]({{ download-url-base }}/) and choose your
version of Fedora. Go to `x86_64/stable/Packages/`
and download the `.rpm` file for the Docker version you want to install.
> **Note**: To install an **edge** package, change the word
> `stable` in the above URL to `edge`.
2. Install Docker CE, changing the path below to the path where you downloaded
the Docker package.
```bash
$ sudo dnf -y install /path/to/package.rpm
```
3. Start Docker.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
4. Verify that Docker CE is installed correctly by running the `hello-world`
image.
```bash
$ sudo docker run hello-world
```
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
Docker CE is installed and running. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker commands.
Continue to [Post-installation steps for Linux](/install/linux/linux-postinstall.md) to allow
non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration
steps.
#### Upgrade Docker CE
To upgrade Docker CE, download the newer package file and repeat the
[installation procedure](#install-from-a-package), using `dnf -y upgrade`
instead of `dnf -y install`, and pointing to the new file.
{% include install-script.md %}
## Uninstall Docker CE
1. Uninstall the Docker package:
```bash
$ sudo dnf remove docker-ce
```
2. Images, containers, volumes, or customized configuration files on your host
are not automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and
volumes:
```bash
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
```
You must delete any edited configuration files manually.
## Next steps
- Continue to [Post-installation steps for Linux](/install/linux/linux-postinstall.md)
- Continue with the [User Guide](/engine/userguide/index.md).
