Fascinated to mini PC for sometimes already. Only recently have some free time to play around with my long purchased OrangePi Lite. As an alternative for Raspberry Pi, I got my H3 ARM, Cortex-A7 Quad Core, 512mb RAM OrangePi Lite, for less than USD$14. After tried several way which didn't work, i have found the following setup are able to run Docker :
1. download the armbian server image using the following link :
https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-lite/
2. burn the image using Win32DiskImage into a SD card with minimum 8GB storage
3. Plugin the SD card into the OrangePi Lite slot and start the OrangePi.
4. Following the instruction on the screen to configure your account and finally reboot the device.
5. Run "armbian-config" to configure WIFI connection.
6. Within armbian-config, switch to use to use Dev builds instead of stable build.
7. run apt-update and then apt-upgrade.
8. reboot the device. After reboot, we are ready to setup docker.
9. Use the following steps to setup docker :
i. Install packages to allow
apt to use a repository over HTTPS:$ sudo apt-get install \
apt-transport-https \
ca-certificates \
curl \
software-properties-commonii. Add Docker’s official GPG key:
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
iii. Verify that you now have the key with the fingerprint:
9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88,
by searching for the last 8 characters of the fingerprint.
$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
pub 4096R/0EBFCD88 2017-02-22
Key fingerprint = 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid Docker Release (CE deb)
sub 4096R/F273FCD8 2017-02-22
iv. Use the following command to set up the stable repository. You always need the stable repository, even if you want to install builds from the edge or test repositories as well. To add the edge or testrepository, add the word
edge or test (or both) after the word stable in the commands below.Note: Thelsb_release -cssub-command below returns the name of your Ubuntu distribution, such asxenial. Sometimes, in a distribution like Linux Mint, you might have to change$(lsb_release -cs)to your parent Ubuntu distribution. For example, if you are usingLinux Mint Rafaela, you could usetrusty.
armhf:
$ sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=armhf] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
v. Install the latest version of Docker CE, or go to the next step to install a specific version. Any existing installation of Docker is replaced.
$ sudo apt-get install docker-c
vi. Verify that Docker CE is installed correctly by running the
hello-world image.$ sudo docker run hello-world
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
