3.2 Installing Docker or Podman

After you install a supported operating system on your Cloud Bridge Agent host server, you must complete additional steps to install a Docker or Podman environment for the Agent.

3.2.1 Setting Up Ubuntu with Docker

Set up Ubuntu with Docker using the instructions provided on the Docker documentation site. If any of the commands fail, it is most likely because of formatting issues. We recommend that you copy the lengthy commands directly from the online Ubuntu Docker documentation.

After you have set up your Docker environment, you can proceed with installing the Cloud Bridge Agent. For more information, see Installing the Cloud Bridge Agent.

3.2.2 Setting Up SUSE Linux with Docker

Set up SUSE Linux with Docker using the instructions provided on the Docker documentation site. If any of the commands fail, it is most likely because of formatting issues. We recommend that you copy the lengthy commands directly from the online OpenSUSE, Docker, and Docker-Compose documentation.

After you have set up your Docker environment, you can proceed with installing the Cloud Bridge Agent. For more information, see Installing the Cloud Bridge Agent.

3.2.3 Setting Up RedHat Linux with Podman

Complete the following steps to set up RedHat Linux with Podman.

  1. Ensure that your RHEL 8.3 Server is registered with RedHat.

  2. Check the installed Podman version. Run:

    podman version
  3. (Conditional) If you already have Podman 1.6.4 or later, you do not need to install it.

  4. (Conditional) If you do not have Podman installed, run:

    yum install podman
  5. After you have set up your Podman environment, you can proceed with installing the Cloud Bridge Agent. For more information, see Installing the Cloud Bridge Agent.
