Installing Docker
The Docker installation package available in the official Docker repository.
First, update your existing list of packages:
sudo apt update
Next, install a few prerequisite packages which let apt use packages over HTTPS:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
Then add the GPG key for the official Docker repository to your system:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add –
Add the Docker repository to APT sources:
sudo add-apt-repository “deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable”
Next, update the package database with the Docker packages from the newly added repo:
sudo apt update
Make sure you are about to install from the Docker repo instead of the default Ubuntu repo:
apt-cache policy docker-ce
You’ll see output like this, although the version number for Docker may be different:
Output of apt-cache policy docker-ce
docker-ce:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 18.03.1~ce~3-0~ubuntu
Version table:
18.03.1~ce~3-0~ubuntu 500
500 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 Packages
Notice that docker-ce is not installed, but the installation is from the Docker repository for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic).
Finally, install Docker:
sudo apt install docker-ce
Docker should now be installed, the daemon started, and the process enabled to start on boot. Check that it’s running:
sudo systemctl status docker
