# How to run Docker in Hyper.sh

Lately we have received a lot of requests asking **how to run Docker in Hyper.sh**. This blog shows you a few ways to setup a Docker daemon, and launch Docker containers inside of a Hyper container.

---

### Ubuntu 16.04
``` bash
$ ID=`hyper run -d ubuntu:16.04`                    # launch an Ubuntu container
$ hyper exec -it ${ID} /bin/bash                    # get shell access
# apt-get update                                    
# apt-get install docker.io cgroup-lite screen -y   # install dependencies
# cgroups-mount                                     # mount cgroup
# screen -dmS docker_daemon dockerd -D              # Do NOT use `service docker start`
# docker info                                       # if this works, you are all set
```

### CentOS 7.0
``` bash
$ ID=`hyper run -d centos:7`
$ hyper exec -it ${ID} /bin/bash
# yum install libcgroup e2fsprogs iptables screen docker -y
# mkdir -p /cgroup/memory && mount -t cgroup -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,memory cgroup /cgroup/memory
