Docker Installation

Preinstalled Docker

If you went with a cloud instance with Docker preinstalled, then you can skip this section.

Verify Installation

Before we get into the installation steps, let’s verify if Docker is already installed on your system.

Check Docker Installation

docker --version
sudo docker run hello-world

If you see a version number and the hello world container runs without any issue, then Docker is already installed.

If not, then let’s get started with the installation.

Installation Script

Get Docker One-liner

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh

This script will install Docker on any Linux host. Make sure to verify the installation by running the verification commands mentioned above.
