Installing Go and RISC-V Docker

Installing Go

To install Go, use the following command:

sudo apt install golang-go

Verify the installation:

debian@lpi4a:~$ go version
go version go1.19.8 linux/riscv64

Installing Docker for RISC-V64

A RISC-V64-compatible Docker package is available as docker.io, and can be installed with:

sudo apt install docker.io

Testing Docker

To test the installation, try pulling the RISC-V64 Debian image:

sudo docker pull riscv64/debian:unstable

Troubleshooting

If the following error occurs when using the docker pull command:

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/images/create?fromImage=riscv64%2Fdebian&tag=unstable": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

resolve it with these commands:

# Allow access to the Docker socket
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

# Start the Docker service
sudo systemctl start docker

# Run a test container
sudo docker run hello-world

This should enable Docker to run with the necessary permissions.
