Installing and configuring Docker on CentOS

To create a virtual machine using VMware Workstation or VirtualBox, install CentOS 6.6 or 6.7.

Follow these steps to use CentOS 6.7 to run Docker. In CentOS 6.x, there was a minor issue of a package name conflict with a system tray application and its executable, so the Docker RPM package was called docker-io.

1. Let's install docker-io:

   [root@localhost Desktop]# yum install docker-io
   Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
   Setting up Install Process
   Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
