Docker Installation Guide on Arch Linux

INFO

Simple and easy setup for Docker with Docker Compose on Arch Linux.

Installation

Install Docker and Docker Compose packages:

shell

sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose docker-buildx

Package Info:

docker → Docker engine to run and manage containers.
docker-compose → Tool to define and manage multi-container Docker applications.

Enable and start the Docker service:
shell
```
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
```
Add your user to the Docker group (so you can run Docker without sudo):
shell
```
sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)
```
Restart your system to apply group changes:
shell
```
sudo reboot now
```

TIP

If you face issues with Docker, check if the service is running:

shell

sudo systemctl status docker
