How to install Docker and Docker Compose on Arch Linux

Or install them automatically

1. Install docker:

yes | sudo pacman -Syu docker

2. Install docker-compose (optional):

yes | sudo pacman -S docker-compose

3. Start the docker daemon:

sudo service docker start   # for SysVinit
sudo systemctl start docker # for Systemd

4. To run docker as a non-privileged user - without sudo (optional):

       1. Add docker group:

sudo groupadd docker

       2. Add current user to the docker group.

sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

       3. Apply changes made to groups:

           You can do either, however they're sorted from least to most likely to work:

• newgrp docker
• logout and login
• restart your machine (this is the safest bet)
