Docker

A self-sufficient runtime for containers.

Where to get your Docker images:

Installation

Preferably you install Docker in a non-root / non-sudo user. Follow the next steps to do so.

sudo adduser docker-user
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker docker-user
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common && curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
