What's the procedure for installing and running Docker on Google Compute Engine?
383
Google Cloud Platform has many tools for working with and running containerized apps using Docker, including managed Kubernetes and serverless container execution.
You can update a Docker image and configuration options to run the container on a VM instance using Google Cloud Platform Console or gcloud command line tool. When you update a VM running a container, Compute Engine performs two steps: Updates container declaration on the instance.
Until the recent GA release of Compute Engine, running Docker was not supported on GCE (due to kernel restrictions) but with the newly announced ability to deploy and use custom kernels, that restriction is no longer intact and Docker now works great on GCE.
Thanks to proppy, the instructions for running Docker on Google Compute Engine are now documented for you here: http://docs.docker.io/en/master/installation/google/. Enjoy!
