Is Docker in Docker Container Possible?

In previous versions (around 2013), it seems jpetazzo/dind was available. Now it causes errors.

Mount docker.sock

The theory is that you should mount the host’s docker.sock. I don’t really understand what I’m doing at this point, but I got it working, so here’s a memo.

-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock is the key. Like this. (yuis/env:1.0 can be replaced with ubuntu or left as is)

sudo docker run -it --rm -v /doc:/doc  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock yuis/env:1.0 sh -c "apt-get update ; apt-get install docker.io -y ; bash"

Check after entering the container. Docker commands can now be used inside the docker container.

root@4d7be4c1665a:/# docker run -it --rm yuis/env:1.0
root@eb264a363e3f:/#
