Docker with Ubuntu on RZ/V2H RDK

Docker is available on Ubuntu for container-based development and deployment.

Main points:

  • Install and run Docker on Ubuntu

  • Build and run containers for applications

  • Useful for packaging development environments

  • Helps with reproducible workflows

This guide explains how to install and verify Docker on the RZ/V2H RDK running Ubuntu.

Prerequisites

  • RZ/V2H RDK running Ubuntu

  • Internet connection

  • User account with sudo privileges

Install Docker

Follow the steps below to install Docker on the RZ/V2H RDK:

sudo apt update

# Make sure you can access the internet
ping bing.com

# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh

# Add user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Note

After adding your user to the docker group, log out and log back in for the group change to take effect.

Verify Docker Installation

Check that Docker is installed correctly:

docker --version
docker run hello-world

If the installation is successful, the hello-world container runs and prints a confirmation message.

Notes

  • Ensure the board has a stable internet connection before starting the installation.

  • The get.docker.com installation script installs Docker automatically with recommended settings.

  • If docker run hello-world fails after installation, log out and log back in, then try again.

Troubleshooting

  • If apt update fails, verify network connectivity.

  • If ping bing.com fails, check DNS and internet access.

  • If you get a permission error when running Docker commands, confirm that your user was added to the docker group and that you have logged in again.
