Run Docker via the Easy-install script¶
Security best practice¶
You can download and check the installation script before running it.
Installation instructions¶
Linux or macOS¶
Download and install PMM Server using cURL or wget:
curl -fsSL https://www.percona.com/get/pmm | /bin/bash
wget -O - https://www.percona.com/get/pmm | /bin/bash
What does the script do?
This script does the following:
- Installs Docker if it is not already installed on your system.
- Stops and renames any currently running PMM Server Docker container from pmm-server to pmm-server-{timestamp}. This old pmm-server container is not a recoverable backup.
- Pulls and runs the latest PMM Server Docker image.
- Can run in Interactive mode to change the default settings:
curl -fsSLO https://www.percona.com/get/pmm (or wget https://www.percona.com/get/pmm)
chmod +x pmm
./pmm --interactive
Docker installation issues¶
If you encounter Docker installation issues with the Easy-install script (such as ERROR: Unsupported distribution 'rocky' on Rocky Linux):
- Install Docker manually.
- Run the Easy-install script above again.
This two-step approach resolves most installation issues, especially on Rocky Linux where automatic installation may fail.
