Docker is an open-source platform that enables developers to build, package, and distribute their applications as containers. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Docker on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
The first step is to update your system packages to the latest version using the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
This will update your system packages to the latest version.
To install Docker on Elementary OS Latest, we need to install some dependencies first. These dependencies can be installed using the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common net-tools
Now add the Docker GPG key to your system using the following command:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
After adding the GPG key, we need to add the Docker repository to our system using the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
We are now ready to install Docker. Run the following command to install Docker:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:
sudo docker version
This will display the Docker version information and the client-server architecture.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Docker on your Elementary OS Latest. You are now ready to start using Docker to build, package, and distribute your applications as containers.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
