Docker is a popular platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. It is used by many developers and organizations worldwide to build, run, and manage containers. In this tutorial, we will explain the steps to install Docker on the latest version of nixOS.
Before installing Docker on nixOS, please make sure that you have the following:
First, update your system to ensure that you have the latest security patches and software updates. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This will update nixOS and ensure that any required changes are applied.
Once the system has been updated, you can now proceed to install Docker. Docker is available in the official nixOS repository, so you can install it using the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.docker
This command will download and install Docker along with any required dependencies.
After the installation is complete, you can verify that Docker is installed correctly by running the following command:
sudo docker info
If everything is installed correctly, you should see a summary of the Docker installation, including the versions of Docker Engine, Docker Hub, and Docker Compose.
Congratulation! You have successfully installed Docker on the latest version of nixOS. You can now start using Docker to build, run and manage containers on your system. Thank you for reading our tutorial. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments section.
