Required software
=================
The only requirements for the Devilbox is to have ``Docker`` and ``Docker Compose`` installed,
everything else is bundled and provided withing the Docker container.
The minimum required versions are listed below:
* ``Docker``: 17.06.0+
* ``Docker Compose``: 1.16.0+
Additionally you will require ``git`` in order to clone the devilbox project.

Docker installation
===================
Linux
-----
|img_logo_lin|
Docker on Linux requires super user privileges which is granted to a system
wide group called ``docker``. After having installed Docker on your system,
ensure that your local user is a member of the ``docker`` group.
.. code-block:: bash
host> id
uid=1000(cytopia) gid=1000(cytopia) groups=1000(cytopia),999(docker)
.. seealso::
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_centos|
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_debian|
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_fedora|
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_ubuntu|
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_linux_post_steps| (covers ``docker`` group)
Mac
---
|img_logo_mac|
On MacOS Docker is available in two different forms: **Docker for Mac**
and **Docker Toolbox**.
Docker for Mac
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Docker for Mac is the native and recommended version to choose when using the
Devilbox.
Docker for Mac requires super user privileges which is granted to a system
wide group called ``docker``. After having installed Docker on your system,
ensure that your local user is a member of the ``docker`` group.
.. code-block:: bash
host> id
uid=502(cytopia) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),999(docker)

* |ext_lnk_install_docker_mac_get_started|
Docker Toolbox
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you still want to use Docker Toolbox, ensure you have read its
drawbacks in the below provided links.
.. seealso::
Docker Toolbox
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_toolbox_mac|
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_toolbox_mac_native_vs_toolbox|
* |ext_link_docker_machine|

Windows
-------
|img_logo_win|
On Windows Docker is available in two different forms: **Docker for Windows**
and **Docker Toolbox**.
Docker for Windows
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Docker for Windows is the native and recommended version to choose when using
the Devilbox. This however is only available since **Windows 10**.
Docker for Windows requires administrative privileges which is granted to a system
wide group called ``docker-users``. After having installed Docker on your system,
ensure that your local user is a member of the ``docker-users`` group.
.. seealso::
Docker for Windows
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_win|
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_win_get_started|
Docker Toolbox
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are on **Windows 7** or still want to use Docker Toolbox, ensure you
have read its drawbacks in the below provided links.
.. seealso::
Docker Toolbox
* |ext_lnk_install_docker_toolbox_win|
* |ext_link_docker_machine|
.. important:: :ref:`howto_docker_toolbox_and_the_devilbox`
Post installation
=================
Read the Docker documentation carefully and follow all **install** and **post-install** steps.
Below are a few stumbling blocks to check that might or might not apply depending on your host
operating system and your Docker version.
.. seealso:: :ref:`troubleshooting`
User settings
-------------
Some versions of Docker require your local user to be in the ``docker`` group
(or ``docker-users`` on Windows).
Shared drives
-------------
Some versions of Docker require you to correctly setup shared drives. Ensure the desired locations
are being made available to Docker and the correct credentials are applied.
Network and firewall
--------------------
On Windows, ensure your firewall allows access to shared drives.
SE Linux
--------
Make sure to read any shortcomings when SE Linux is enabled.
General
-------
It could also help to do a full system restart after the installation has been finished.
Optional previous knowledge
===========================
In order to easily work with the Devilbox you should already be familiar with the following:
* Navigate on the command line
* Docker Compose commands (|ext_lnk_docker_compose_cmd_up|, |ext_lnk_docker_compose_cmd_stop|,
|ext_lnk_docker_compose_cmd_kill|, |ext_lnk_docker_compose_cmd_rm|,
|ext_lnk_docker_compose_cmd_logs| and |ext_lnk_docker_compose_cmd_pull|)
* Docker Compose ``.env`` file
* Know how to use ``git``
