Getting Started
Before starting, updating your system packages to the latest version is a good idea. You can update them with the following command:
apt update -y
apt upgrade -y
After updating all the packages, install other required dependencies with the following command:
apt install apt-transport-https git ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gnupg2 unzip -y
Once all the dependencies are installed, you can proceed to the next step.
Install Docker CE
You will also need to install the Docker package on your system. First, add the Docker GPG key with the following command:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
Next, add the Docker repository to APT using the following command.
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
Next, update the repository and install the Docker CE with the following command:
apt update -y
apt install docker-ce -y
Once the Docker is installed, verify the Docker version using the following command:
docker -v
You should get the following output:
Docker version 20.10.22, build 3a2c30b
