This is a guide for installing Docker from source on FreeBSD 11.

WARNING: This is a work in progress. YMMV

Prepare the Environment¶

• Make sure the system is up to date:
  

  pkg update && pkg upgrade
  

• Install some dependencies:
  

  pkg install go git
  

• Create a development workspace:
  

  mkdir /usr/local/go_devel
  

• Add the go development workspace to the .cshrc script:
  

  echo setenv PATH $PATH:/usr/local/go_devel/bin >> $HOME/.cshrc
  echo setenv GOPATH /usr/local/go_devel >> $HOME/.cshrc
  source $HOME/.cshrc
  

• Install go-md2man:
  

  go get go get github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man
  cd /usr/local/go_devel/src/github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man
  go build
  go install
  

Install Docker¶

Install runc¶

• Get the runc source:
  

  go get github.com/opencontainers/runc
  

• Get the Go dependent packages:
  

  go get github.com/moby/moby
  go get github.com/docker/cli
  go get github.com/containerd/containerd
  go get github.com/docker/runc
  go get github.com/docker/libnetwork
  

export DOCKER_BUILDTAGS='exclude_graphdriver_btrfs exclude_graphdriver_devicemapper exclude_graphdriver_aufs'
