This document provides instructions to enable Docker on a Metworx Workflow, since by default, it is disabled.

Disclaimer: Relevant Metworx Version(s)

This article only pertains to the Metworx 22.09 Blueprint series and any subsequent versions. Any prior Metworx Blueprint versions where Docker is included, Docker should be enabled by default.

Enabling Docker

To enable Docker on your Metworx Workflow, follow these steps:

1. Open a Terminal window. This can be done in any of the entry points of a workflow, whether it is via the Remote Desktop or any of the IDE options provided by RStudio Workbench (RStudio, JupyterLab, VSCode).
2. In your Terminal, execute the following: sudo systemctl enable docker

Executing the command above will enable Docker on your Metworx Workflow, allowing you to use the tool as desired.
