How to install Docker on Ubuntu 22.04

To Install Docker On Ubuntu 22.04

Introduction:

Docker is a software platform that allows you to build, test, and deploy applications quickly. Docker packages software into standardized units called containers that have everything the software needs to run including libraries, system tools, code, and runtime.

Step 1: Check the OS version by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Release:    22.04
Codename:    jammy

Step 2: Update the repository by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# apt update
Hit:1 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease
Hit:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security InRelease
Hit:3 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports InRelease

23 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

Step 3: Install the prerequisite packages for Docker by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gpg

ca-certificates is already the newest version (20230311ubuntu0.22.04.1).
ca-certificates set to manually installed.
gpg is already the newest version (2.2.27-3ubuntu2.1).
gpg set to manually installed.
software-properties-common is already the newest version (0.99.22.7).
software-properties-common set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libflashrom1 libftdi1-2
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  apt-transport-https curl
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
Need to get 196 kB of archives.
After this operation, 623 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Step 4: Add the GPG key to the Docker repository by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg |
gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
File '/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg' exists. Overwrite? (y/N) y

Step 5: Add the Docker repository to APT sources by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Step 6: Once again update the repository by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# apt update
Get:1 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy InRelease [48.9 kB]
Hit:2 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease                                     
Hit:3 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security InRelease                              
Get:4 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy/stable amd64 Packages [21.4 kB]          
Hit:5 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates InRelease
Hit:6 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports InRelease
Fetched 70.3 kB in 3s (25.2 kB/s)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
23 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

Step 7: Check where it is install from docker repository or Ubuntu default repository by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# apt-cache policy docker-ce
docker-ce:
