How to install jailoc

This guide covers installation methods and the prerequisites you need before running jailoc.

Prerequisites

  • Docker Engine must be running on your machine. jailoc communicates with the Docker daemon directly.
  • No docker compose CLI plugin is required. jailoc embeds the Compose SDK and manages containers without it.

Install with go install

The fastest method if you have a Go toolchain available:

go install github.com/seznam/jailoc/cmd/jailoc@{{ version }}

The binary lands in $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin by default). Make sure that directory is on your PATH.

Pre-built binaries

Pre-built archives for Linux and macOS (amd64/arm64) are published with every release. Download the one matching your platform from the GitHub Releases page, extract, and place the binary on your PATH.
