So we use this way to install docker on centos

Add the EPEL Repository

Docker is part of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), which is a community repository of non-standard packages for the RHEL distribution. First, we’ll install the EPEL repository:

rpm -iUvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Then, as a matter of best practice, we’ll update our packages:

yum update -y

Installation

Installation Now let’s install Docker by installing the docker-io package:

yum -y install docker-io

Once the installation completes, we’ll need to start the Docker daemon:

service docker start

And finally, and optionally, let’s configure Docker to start when the server boots:

chkconfig docker on

Docker is now installed.
