TipsAndTricks/DockerOnImage

This assumes you'd like to build an image that supports docker on a YP image. This is pretty straightforward due to the great work done on the meta-virtualization layer, mostly by people at Wind River. This document will show how to get docker running on a Minnowboard (Turbot). Note, these layers change, so this is accurate as of July 2017.

What Layers you Need

The main layer is meta-virtualization. This can be found using the layers.openembedded search app, Here's the [meta-virtualiation] entry. As you can see from the dependency list, this layer requires oe-core,meta-oe, meta-networking, and meta-filesystems. Some of these (like meta-networking) have additional dependencies. Here's the complete list of additional layers you need:

• [meta-virtualization]
• [meta-openembedded]
  • The meta-openembedded repo contains the rest of the needed layers:
    • meta-python
    • meta-networking
    • meta-filesystems
    • meta-oe

You need to add these (with absolute paths) to your build/conf/bblayers.conf file. BBLAYERS should look something like this:
