Docker - Install Docker
Prerequisites
ALERT: Docker is only compatible with iptables and ip6tables.
- Docker is NOT compatible with ufw.
Uninstall old versions
NOTE: Images, containers, volumes, and networks stored in /var/lib/docker/ are not automatically removed when you uninstall Docker.
- To start with a clean installation, to clean up any existing data, read the uninstall Docker Engine section.
To delete all images, containers, and volumes:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd
Remove source list and keyrings
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list sudo rm /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
NOTE: Any edited configuration files will need to be deleted manually.
Set up the Docker apt repository
# Add Docker's official GPG key: sudo apt update sudo apt install ca-certificates curl sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/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] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}") stable" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null sudo apt update
Install the Docker packages
sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
Verify that the installation is successful
sudo docker run hello-world
returns:
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world e6590344b1a5: Pull complete Digest: sha256:0b6a027b5cf322f09f6706c754e086a232ec1ddba835c8a15c6cb74ef0d43c29 Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID: https://hub.docker.com/ For more examples and ideas, visit: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/
NOTE: This downloads a test image and runs it in a container.
- When the container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
