# Docker ACI Integration for Linux (Beta)

Docker has extended its strategic collaboration with Microsoft to simplify code
to cloud application development for developers and development teams by more
closely integrating with Azure Container Instances (ACI).

The new ACI experience from local VS Code and Docker Desktop development to
remote deployment in ACI creates a tighter integration between Docker and
Microsoft developer technologies provides the following productivity benefits to
developers:

* Easily log into Azure directly from the Docker CLI
* Trigger an ACI cloud container service environment to be set up automatically
with easy to use defaults and no infrastructure overhead
* Switch from a local context to a cloud context to quickly and easily run
applications
* Simplifies single container and multi-container application development via
the Compose specification allowing a developer to invoke fully Docker
compatible commands seamlessly for the first time natively within a cloud
container service

> :warning: **This CLI is in beta**: The installation process, commands, and
> flags will change in future releases.
## Installation

This guide shows how to install the CLI for Ubuntu. For macOS and Windows, the
CLI is included with the Desktop Edge release.

### Prerequisites

* [Docker 19.03 or later](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)

### Install script

You can install the new CLI using the install script:

```console
curl -L https://github.com/docker/aci-integration-beta/releases/download/v0.1.0/install.sh | sh
```

### Manual install

You can download the Docker ACI Integration CLI using the following command:

```console
curl -Lo docker-aci https://github.com/docker/aci-integration-beta/releases/download/v0.1.0/docker-linux-amd64
```

You will then need to make it executable:

```console
chmod +x docker-aci
```

To enable using the local Docker Engine and to use existing Docker contexts, you
will need to have the existing Docker CLI as `com.docker.cli` somewhere in your
`PATH`. You can do this by creating a symbolic link from the existing Docker
CLI.

```console
ln -s /path/to/existing/docker /directory/in/PATH/com.docker.cli
```

> **Note**: The `PATH` environment variable is a colon separated list of
> directories with priority from left to right. You can view it using
> `echo $PATH`. You can find the path to the existing Docker CLI using
> `which docker`. You may need root permissions to make this link.
On a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 with Docker Engine
[already installed](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/):

```console
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
$ which docker
/usr/bin/docker
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/docker /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli
```

You can verify that this is working by checking that the new CLI works with the
default context:

```console
$ ./docker-aci --context default ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
$ echo $?
0
```

To make this CLI with ACI integration your default Docker CLI, you must move it
to a directory in your `PATH` with higher priority than the existing Docker CLI.

Again on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04:

```console
$ which docker
/usr/bin/docker
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
$ sudo mv docker-aci /usr/local/bin/docker
$ which docker
/usr/local/bin/docker
$ docker version
...
Azure integration 0.1.0
...
```

## Uninstall

To remove this CLI, you need to remove the binary you downloaded and
`com.docker.cli` from your `PATH`. If you installed using the script, this can
be done as follows:

```console
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli
```
