Install Docker oneliner script

install-docker.md

Just install Docker

$ curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sh get-docker.sh

Install Docker and Rancher Server

$ curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sh get-docker.sh && sudo docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 8080:8080 rancher/server

I don't think there is a need for -o, you can just directly pipe the script into bash using $ curl -fsSL get.docker.com | bash
It's shorter and easier to memorize.
But you shouldn't use it if for security reasons you need to inspect the script before executing it.

Neat!

Thx

Does the curl command also install compose along with it?

Compose is part of Docker now, but it's docker compose as opposed to docker-compose

wget -O- get.docker.com | bash

Thanks you @moonheart 🚀

Since Docker targets sh for their script, you can do this even more portable:

wget -O- get.docker.com | sh (by @moonheart) or curl -fsSL get.docker.com | sh (by @exil0867)

Also, there is a --dry-run key which would show all commands (but not run them!) that Docker installation script would execute for your system.
