There are no known issues, but until you shutdown and disable you're > still running rootful Docker. If you installed Docker 20.10 or later with RPM/DEB packages, you should have dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh in /usr/bin. Run dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install as a non-root user to set up the daemon Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install [INFO] Creating /home/testuser/.config/systemd/user/docker.service ... [INFO] Installed docker.service successfully. [INFO] To control docker.service, run: `systemctl --user (start|stop|restart) docker.service` [INFO] To run docker.service on system startup, run: `sudo loginctl enable-linger testuser` [INFO] Creating CLI context "rootless" Successfully created context "rootless" [INFO] Using CLI context "rootless" Current context is now "rootless" [INFO] Make sure the following environment variable(s) are set (or add them to ~/.bashrc): export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH [INFO] Some applications may require the following environment variable too: export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock ``` If dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh is not present, you may need to install the docker-ce-rootless-extras package manually, e.g., Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce-rootless-extras ``` If you do not have permission to run package managers like apt-get and dnf, consider using the installation script available at Since static packages are not available for s390x, hence it is not supported for s390x.
