What are the dependencies for running containers on a system (linux)?


To Setup docker on your system you need below things

  • if you are going to setup K8s with docker
    1. docker-ce/docker
    2. kubelet
    3. kubectl
    4. curl & wget
  • if you are going to setup k8s with minikube
    1. you will need minikube
    2. virtualenv


I feel you need to be more specific what exactly you wanted to know.There are multiple container technologies are existing currently. To install docker specifically your linux machine should have kernel version > 3.10.If you want to install Kubernetes on your linux machines

  • you need to modify OS level things.(like firewall,swap etc)
  • you need to install one of the container run time & other kubernetes packages(kubelet kubeadm kubectl ) then setup container networking.

Here you can find clear instructions to install kuberentes via Kubeadm
