debian package

You need a least jessie (debian/testing) for go1.1.1

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y debhelper build-essential autotools-dev golang mercurial
git clone https://github.com/dotcloud/docker
cd docker/packaging/debian
make debian
sudo dpkg -i lxc-docker_*-1_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get install -f -y

You'll want to edit /etc/default/grub to enable cgroup memory and swap accounting.

Replace

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount"

Then update your grub configuration like so.

sudo update-grub2

Before rebooting add the following line to /etc/fstab

cgroup  /sys/fs/cgroup  cgroup  defaults  0   0

You should now have docker setup, but it will require a reboot for the cgroup changes to take affect.

Once rebooted docker should be running. You can now run commands against it using lxc-docker If it's not running you can start it with the init script /etc/init.d/lxc-docker start
