This repository contains the specfile and config files to build kernel-ml kernels that include AUFS for use with Docker. The Docker spec files that were part of the original repo are no longer included. Use Docker from EPEL instead.
Before building the packages, be sure to install fedora-packager and add yourself to the mock group.
These packages can be built using the following commands. Be aware that building the kernel can take a long time (at least half an hour, up to several hours if you're building on an older machine). If you want to build these for RHEL/CentOS 7, change epel-6-x86_64 to epel-7-x86_64 in the instructions below, and make sure that you change the filename for the source RPM to the EL7 equivalent.
NOTE: fe1e5d50b83e2987676c27f3e9f721d382e5fefc was the latest commit of the aufs3.17 branch at the time of this writing. When you build your kernel versions, feel free to update this step to the latest commit.
# build kernel rpm
spectool -g -C kernel-ml-aufs kernel-ml-aufs/kernel-ml-aufs-3.17.spec
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/aufs/aufs3-standalone -b aufs3.17
pushd aufs3-standalone
git archive fe1e5d50b83e2987676c27f3e9f721d382e5fefc > ../kernel-ml-aufs/aufs3-standalone.tar
popd
/usr/bin/mock -r epel-6-x86_64 --buildsrpm --spec kernel-ml-aufs/kernel-ml-aufs-3.17.spec --sources kernel-ml-aufs --resultdir output
/usr/bin/mock -r epel-6-x86_64 --rebuild --resultdir output output/kernel-ml-aufs-3.17.1-1.el6.src.rpm
The resulting RPMs will be placed in a directory named output. You can install them with
cd output
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck kernel-ml-aufs-3.17.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
In order to use docker, you'll need to install it out of EPEL:
yum install docker-io
Reboot and choose the 3.xx kernel from your GRUB menu (or edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change your default kernel). Verify that Dcoker is indeed using AUFS.
