Install Docker on Ubuntu, Debian and Raspbian (Raspberry Pi 3), respectively

docker.md

Install docker

prerequisites, install them if not already present

sudo apt install apt-transport-https  ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

add docker's GPG key

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

verify fingerprint, if you want, which should be 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88

sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

add repository if on Ubuntu or Debian only

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

On Raspbian this method does not work, you can add a repository manually by running

sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=armhf] https://download.docker.com/linux/raspbian stretch stable' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list"
sudo apt update

install docker

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

list versions available in the repo

apt-cache madison docker-ce

a specific version can be installed as well by

sudo apt-get install docker-ce=<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli=<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io

verify that Docker CE is installed correctly by running the hello-world image.

sudo docker run hello-world

if you would like to use Docker as a non-root user, consider adding your user to the docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker your-user

Purge docker

Uninstall docker

sudo apt-get purge docker-ce

Images, containers, volumes, or customized configuration files on your host are not automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and volumes:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker

Remove the GPG key

sudo apt-key del 0EBFCD88

Install docker compose binary

An alternative way for installing docker compose is to use pip within the virtual environment i.e. for reference python -m pip install docker-compose

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

make this binary file executable

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

and create a symbolic link to the /usr/bin folder

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
