Server Setup

Installing environment tools:

Setup Docker Engine:

Uninstall old versions:

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

Set up the docker apt repository:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install \
   ca-certificates \
   curl \
   gnupg \
   lsb-release

Add Docker’s official GPG key:

sudo mkdir -m 0755 -p /etc/apt/keyrings

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

Install Docker Engine:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Add permissions to Manage Docker as a non-root user:

sudo groupadd docker

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Log out and log back in so that your group membership is re-evaluated.

docker run hello-world
