Docker Prerequisites

Note: Since RHEL8+ does not include Docker support, Docker prerequisites are not applicable when the AppViewX Cloud Connector is being installed on a RHEL8+ node.

Docker version 20.10.5, 27.1.1 installed with non-sudo access with basic read and write permissions
Note: Support for rootless Docker is excluded.
For Docker installation instructions, refer to the links below:
- For installing the Docker Engine:https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
- For post-installation steps for Linux: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/
Important: In the event of a VM reboot, the Docker needs to be restarted. To configure the Docker to restart on boot, follow the instructions given here.
Note: If /var/lib is going to be a separate mount, ensure that it has minimum 5 GB of free space.
In case of restrictions in meeting this requirement, it is recommended to change the data root directory from /var/lib to another dedicated directory. For instructions on changing the data root directory, click here.
