Docker Build from Source - How to Run?

I wanted to have Docker 1.13.1 for use on ARMv8 and, with Docker (the organization) not yet providing an AArch64 build, I resorted to building it myself.

I followed a pretty good tutorial: http://oyvindsk.com/writing/docker-build-from-source

The result was that I pulled the source code from github:

git clone https://github.com/docker/docker.git

I switched to the repo and created a new branch from the v1.13.1 tag

cd docker
git checkout -b gta1.13.1 v1.13.1

I executed the two make calls:

make build
make binary

And sparing you some details, pushed the resultant binaries to a github repo of my own: https://github.com/scyentyfyc/docker

I then pull that repo down to a ARMv8 server that doesn't have docker installed yet, and I copy every file that doesn't end in .md5 or .sha256 over to /usr/bin, resulting in all of this in my /usr/bin

/usr/bin/docker
/usr/bin/docker-1.13.1
/usr/bin/docker-containerd
/usr/bin/docker-containerd-ctr
/usr/bin/docker-containerd-shim
/usr/bin/dockerd
/usr/bin/dockerd-1.13.1
/usr/bin/docker-init
/usr/bin/docker-proxy
/usr/bin/docker-runc

If I run dockerd manually, it seems to run ok, but I can't use the stuff I see suggested elsewhere like

service docker start

as I get the message, "Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.service not found." And when I attempt to use systemd

systemctl enable docker

I get the mssage, "Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory".

So, I'm just wondering what I'm missing. I don't want to run the docker daemon manually, I want it set to run automatically on system start but after a great deal of wandering the interwebs I've come up empty handed

Mark is right. You're going to need to create service files so that systemd knows how to interact with the docker service. You'll need to copy the .service and .socket files in this github repo to /etc/systemd/system
