How to install Docker

Hello, I am making a discord bot and am using an open source one.
I am required to install docker but am not able to. I am a newbie to repl and so I do not know much. This might be a stupid question but it is essential to me.
The error shown in the console is below:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)

E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

Thanks!

why does a discord bot need docker?

Just use nodejs or python and start scripting.

does anyone know why this code won't open the vnc terminal?
docker run -p 6080:80 dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc

hi how install docker and usage it

Try this
pkg-install docker docker.io
then run
docker
you'll see it working

docker run --rm dockcross/windows-shared-x64 > winx64
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
See 'docker run --help'.

yea I'm running into the same issue, It seems like the docker daemon isn't running and I'm struggling to figure out how to get it started.

I know this thread is old, but I got docker to work with this command here "install-pkg docker-compose" after doing "install-pkg docker"

Thanks a lot!!

not all heroes wear capes

always happy to help (:

Thanks, this did help. I was able to get somewhere in the starting process but now a new error is occuring

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'docker-compose==1.17.1' distribution was not found and is required by the application

same issues i just got made a vps from my dedicated server and set up a few bots using https://pterodactyl.io/ bots like this
i built from scratch and this runs on repl actually atm Disbot https://disbot.site

https://dislist.me

https://disbot.me <- yes sank6 bot list but revamped to have the option to be able to certify bots!

https://boltzbot.ga <- yagpdb clone im currently working on

install-pkg docker

Hi

@CodeLongAndPros

! Idk why but i cant seem to do this command, it shows command not found, idk why

You did that command in the console. You have to type that command in the shell instead. Hope that works :)

Still doesn't work. Any help?

Replit has a new system called Nix, which makes it way easier to install packages. Create a new file called replit.nix and put this in there:


{ pkgs }: {
    deps = [
        pkgs.docker
    ];
}

That should work. More info here.

Why do you need to install docker?

@emilyUsesPascal

I am using a discord bot module that requires it
The language is Go

emilyUsesPascal

whats the module?

@emilyUsesPascal

I do not know the name(I forgot and the bot is so large and has too many files for me to check in a small amount of time). The bot is open source and is known as YAGPDB(not developed by me)

emilyUsesPascal

if your planing on only hosting you, you should not need to worry, as a repl project itself is just a docker container

@emilyUsesPascal

thanks but when i tried a command it gave me this
"bash: docker-compose: command not found"

emilyUsesPascal

Sadly I do not think you can use docker on repl.it
You can try by creating a polyglot repl here: http://repl.it/l/polygott

and using install-pkg
