Docker Installation : Step by Step Procedure

OS requirements:

To install Docker Engine, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Ubuntu versions:

• Ubuntu Kinetic 22.10
• Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 (LTS)
• Ubuntu Focal 20.04 (LTS)
• Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 (LTS)

Step 1 : Uninstall old versions

• Older versions of Docker went by the names of docker, docker.io, or docker-engine. Uninstall any such older versions before attempting to install a new version:
  • sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
• It’s OK if apt-get reports that none of these packages are installed.

Step 2 : Install Docker Engine

• Update the apt package index:
  • sudo apt-get update
• Install Docker Engine, containerd, and Docker Compose.
  • sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
