sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
apt-transport-https \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg-agent \
software-properties-common

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y
- Run series of commands to ensure you can interact with Docker without root
- Third command here is a trick to reload your profile without actually logging out
- Closing out Ubuntu shell and starting over instead of third command is an option
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
su -s ${USER}
- Test the Docker configuration
sudo service docker start
docker run hello-world
If you have issues with the docker run hello-world command, see the troubleshooting.md on this gist.

- Port is dynamic, so can't document it well - you'll just have to be good at reading directions
- The port will be in output of step 3 command
- Should look something like this...
http://127.0.0.1:[PORT GOES HERE]/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#/workloads?namespace=default
- This process is going to block you from the finishing this guide, but to keep it running, do the following...
- Perform "CTRL+Z" on the keyboard to send the process into paused state
- Execute the following command to resume the paused process in the background
