Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. It allows you to run applications in containers which are lightweight, portable, and self-sufficient.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Docker on MXLinux Latest.
Before getting started, make sure that you have:
Before installing Docker, it's recommended to update the system. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Next, we need to install some required packages. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
To enable the Docker repository, we need to add the Docker GPG key. Run the following command:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
Now, let's add the Docker repository to our system. Run the following command:
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
We are now ready to install Docker. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Once the installation is done, verify that Docker is installed correctly by running the following command:
sudo docker version
You should see the version information of Docker displayed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Docker on MXLinux Latest. You can now start using Docker to build, ship, and run your applications.
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!
