How to install Docker in Linux without Internet?

General
1

I have downloaded the .tar file from Docker website and unzip and configure to linux (I do not have internet on server).Besides, I configured docker in my local machine(with Internet) and created a docker image of Hello-world sample and save it as .tar file.
now I have taken this image on my server machine (without Internet) and try to execute it getting error :

container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused “exec: "cmd": executable file not found in $PATH”
docker: Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused “exec: "cmd": executable file not found in $PATH”.

ERRO[0000] error getting events from daemon: net/http: request canceled

Docker Version: 17.03.0-ce

The common approach for air gapped environments is:
– fetch the packages for your os from the docker’s repos, do the same for all other dependencies
– install the packages using the package manager of the os
– setup a private container image registry

The tar approach on the other hand is a pure manual approach. I would neither recommend it, nor have I ever seen that someone in an air gapped environment would go down that road.The tar approach only makes sense, if no packages are available for your linux distrubtion.
