#update apt
sudo apt-get update

#install dependencies of docker
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
sudo apt-get install curl
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

#add docker gpg key to system
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

#add docker to apt repository
#sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"

#refresh repo
sudo apt-get update

#install docker
sudo apt-get install docker-ce

#add current user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

#Exit your console and relogin

#Test docker
#if this fails, there's probably a proxy or firewall
docker run hello-world

#get docker-compose
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o ~/docker-compose

#install docker-compose to local bin
sudo mv docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

#give executable permission to docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

#test compose installation
docker-compose --version

Running sudo usermod -aG docker $USER gives root-equivalent permission to $USER, which may be OK in a development environment. An alternative is to define aliases for docker and docker-compose in your ~/.bashrc file (below). You still need to type your password the first time, but at least you don't have to type sudo all the time:

alias docker='sudo docker'
alias docker-compose='sudo docker-compose'
