Docker Compose installation methods in different environments

1. Online installation

Currently only tried the Linux x86 architecture online installation

1. Download docker-compose

Download docker-compose to /usr/local/bin/

$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.17.1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

2. Give docker-compose execution permissions

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

3. Verify

[root@localhost bin]# docker-compose -version
docker-compose version 1.21.2, build e7de1bc

2. Offline installation

(I) Linux x86 installation process of docker-compose

Method 1. Install using binary files

For linux x86, just download the docker-compose binary file of the corresponding linux version from https://github.com/docker/compose/releases to your local computer and send it to linux, then copy it to /usr/local/bin/ and you can use it normally.

Method 2. Compile and install using Python

Download the dockerCompoes source code from github. Then follow these steps:

• Enter the source directory of docker-compose
• Execute python setup.py install

2. Other system installation processes without binary files

The docker-compose binary files for some architectures are not officially provided and need to be compiled and installed manually. Other official ones also need to be compiled and installed manually using Python

After trying, I found that it seems that only using python compilation can be successfully installed, and the following three methods all failed.

Compile and install using Python

Use docker-compose github source code and python compile and install.

• Enter the source directory of docker-compose
• Execute python setup.py install

Report an error

It keeps reporting requests10 version error. I deleted version 10 and changed to version 16. It also reports requests2.14 or above, which is required by docker. This means that the downloaded docker-compose source version does not correspond to the installed docker version.

Download and check the requests version in the requirements.txt file under the source code, find the version corresponding to the installed docker, and then install it again. The texttable version is reported to be incorrect again. Moreover, it cannot be downloaded automatically without a network connection. You can only manually go to https://pypi.org/project/texttable/ to find the corresponding version, download, compile and install it.

Fix missing dependencies

For such problems with missing dependencies, you need to download it from the Python official website and then compile and install it. An example:

Install the two dependencies, requests and texttable, and make sure that docker-compose corresponds to the docker version. Continue to compile and install Python

1. Enter the docker-compose source directory
2. Execute python setup.py install

Error:

Reason: The docker version under python is wrong. Go to https://pypi.python.org/simpl... again and compile and install

Enter the downloaded python docker3.3.0 directory and execute the command python setup.py install
Output:

Enter the docker-compose-1.21.2 directory again

Install docker-compose using python

  [root@localhost docker-3.3.0]# cd ../docker-compose-1.21.2/
  [root@localhost docker-compose-1.21.2]# ls
  build compose dist LICENSE README.rst setup.cfg tests
  CHANGELOG.md contrib docker_compose.egg-info MANIFEST.in requirements-dev.txt setup.py tox.ini
  CHANGES.md CONTRIBUTING.md Dockerfile   
  [root@localhost docker-compose-1.21.2]# python setup.py install

Finally, the installation is successful and it shows:

4. Establish a soft connection

[root@localhost bin]# ln -s /usr/bin/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

5. Verify

[root@localhost bin]# docker-compose -version
docker-compose version 1.21.2, build e7de1bc

3. Others

How to install python modules through setup.py

• Enter the installation directory
• python setup.py build
• python setup.py install

Other failed installation attempts
1. Use binary file installation to find the compiled binary file and try to put it under /usr/local/bin. An error is reported: Unable to execute this binary file.

2. Use dep to install and download the corresponding dep installation package, unzip the data file, put docker-compose in /usr/local/bin, and execute the error: /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter looking for mirror, no available mirror found

3. Make installation When I started to use make to install, I found that the configuration file usually compiled and installed under Linux was missing. I used ./configuration and it reported an error that the file could not be found.
