How to install docker on linux machine

I am documenting my journey in devops

Here is how to install docker on linux machine.

Step-by-Step: Install Docker on Ubuntu

1. Update your packages 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Add Docker’s official GPG key 

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | \
  sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Set up the Docker repository 

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) \
  signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] \
  https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Update again and install Docker 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5. Verify Docker is working 

sudo docker run hello-world
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

6. (Optional) Run Docker without sudo 

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker  # or log out and back in
docker run hello-world
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here is debian version:

Add Docker's official GPG key:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

Add the repository to Apt sources:

echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] download.docker.com/linux/debian \
$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
