Note: The binary is NOT able to update itself, so you may need to update your container at some point. The container has no state configure so you should just have to docker pull ghcr.io/jaredallard/docker-parsec:<version> and re-run ./parsec

Persistence

Bind mount $HOME/.parsec -> /home/parsec/.parsec i.e: -v $HOME/.parsec:/home/parsec/.parsec

Setup Docker

After following setup instructions below (EXCEPT GENTOO), run this:

$ systemctl enable docker
$ systemctl start docker

Arch: pacman -S xorg-xhost docker

Ubuntu / Debian:

$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce

Gentoo:

First you'll need build your kernel following this guide.

Then rebuild your kernel via buildkernel, if you have it from Sakaki's guide or genkernel (stock), once it's done restart your computer

Install Docker

$ sudo emerge -av docker

Verify you configured the kernel properly /usr/share/docker/contrib/check-config.sh

Note: You can safely ignoring missing features, like, Storage Drivers if you're not using them, i.e zfs but you only use ext4,btrfs,etc.... You can also ignore CONFIG_NF_NAT_[T]FTP+

Start docker via sudo rc-service docker start, verify it started with sudo rc-service docker status. If it didn't crash you're good. You should add it to default via sudo rc-update add docker default
