Docker installation
Docker on Windows
Option 1: Docker Desktop
If you have Windows 10 and HyperV enabled then the best option will be installing Docker for Windows.
Option 2: Docker VM
If you have older version of Windows, then you can use Docker Toolbox to install a VM with Docker engine inside: https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/overview/.
Docker on MacOS
For MacOS the best option is to install https://download.docker.com/mac/stable/Docker.dmg
Docker on Linux
- Ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/v18.09/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
- Debian: https://docs.docker.com/v18.09/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/
- CentOS: https://docs.docker.com/v18.09/install/linux/docker-ce/centos/
Docker on remote machine
If none of the above methods work for you, then a remote Docker host will be provided during the workshop to which you can connect and use as a way to play with Docker directly.
