Steps to Install Docker on Ubuntu 24.04 Server

1. Update your system and install essential dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common -y

2. Add Docker’s official GPG key:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

3. Add Docker’s official repository for Ubuntu 24.04:

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" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

4. Update the package list to include Docker packages:

sudo apt update

5. Install Docker Community Edition:

sudo apt install docker-ce -y

6. Check if Docker is running:

sudo systemctl status docker

Docker service should start automatically after installation.

Notes
