Please visit this page for more details on how to install Docker Engine - Community for Ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

• Check if Docker was already installed:
  $ sudo apt list --installed | grep docker docker-ce/bionic,now 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-bionic amd64 [installed] docker-ce-cli/bionic,now 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-bionic amd64 [installed]
  $ sudo apt list --installed | grep containerd containerd.io/bionic,now 1.2.13-2 amd64 [installed]
  You might have Docker installed with different package names: docker, docker.io , or docker-engine
  
  
• To uninstall an existing installation of Docker:
  $ sudo apt remove docker* containerd*
  [Optional] Delete Docker data folder:
  $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
  [Optional] Delete Docker custom configuration folder:
  $ sudo rm -rf /etc/docker/
  [Optional] Delete docker command configuration folder:
  $ rm -rf ~/.docker/

• Update the apt package index:
  $ sudo apt update
  
• [Optional] Install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:
  $ sudo apt install \ apt-transport-https \ ca-certificates \ curl \ gnupg-agent \ software-properties-common
  
• Add Docker’s official GPG key:
  $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
  
• Set up the repository:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository \ "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ $(lsb_release -cs) \ stable"
  
• Update the apt package index:
  $ sudo apt update
  
• Install the latest version of Docker Engine - Community and containerd:
  $ sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io The following NEW packages will be installed: aufs-tools cgroupfs-mount containerd.io docker-ce docker-ce-cli pigz Get:1 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 containerd.io amd64 1.2.10-3 [20.0 MB] Get:2 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 pigz amd64 2.4-1 [57.4 kB] Get:3 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 aufs-tools amd64 1:4.9+20170918-1ubuntu1 [104 kB] Get:4 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 cgroupfs-mount all 1.4 [6,320 B] Get:5 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 docker-ce-cli amd64 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-bionic [42.5 MB] Get:6 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 docker-ce amd64 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-bionic [22.8 MB] Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/containerd.service → /lib/systemd/system/containerd.service.

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/docker.socket → /lib/systemd/system/docker.socket.

• Check installed packages:
  $ sudo apt list --installed | grep docker docker-ce/bionic,now 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-bionic amd64 [installed] docker-ce-cli/bionic,now 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-bionic amd64 [installed]
  $ sudo apt list --installed | grep containerd containerd.io/bionic,now 1.2.10-3 amd64 [installed]
  
• Check Docker daemon (dockerd server):
  $ ps -ef | grep docker root 12269 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
  
• Check Docker service:
  $ sudo systemctl status docker ● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) Docs: https://docs.docker.com Main PID: 12269 (dockerd) Tasks: 17 CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service └─12269 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock dockerd[12269]: level=warning msg="Your kernel does not support swap memory limit" dockerd[12269]: level=warning msg="Your kernel does not support cgroup rt period" dockerd[12269]: level=warning msg="Your kernel does not support cgroup rt runtime" dockerd[12269]: level=info msg="Default bridge (docker0) is assigned with an IP address 172.17.0.0/16.

• Check containerd Service:
  $ sudo systemctl status containerd ● containerd.service - containerd container runtime Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/containerd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) Docs: https://containerd.io Main PID: 11992 (containerd) Tasks: 19 CGroup: /system.slice/containerd.service └─11992 /usr/bin/containerd containerd[11992]: level=info msg=serving... address="/run/containerd/containerd.sock"

• Check Docker Version:
  $ sudo docker version Client: Docker Engine - Community Version: 19.03.12 API version: 1.40 Go version: go1.13.10 Git commit: 48a66213fe Built: Mon Jun 22 15:45:36 2020 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Experimental: false Server: Docker Engine - Community Engine: Version: 19.03.12 API version: 1.40 (minimum version 1.12) Go version: go1.13.10 Git commit: 48a66213fe Built: Mon Jun 22 15:44:07 2020 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Experimental: false containerd: Version: 1.2.13 GitCommit: 7ad184331fa3e55e52b890ea95e65ba581ae3429 runc: Version: 1.0.0-rc10 GitCommit: dc9208a3303feef5b3839f4323d9beb36df0a9dd docker-init: Version: 0.18.0 GitCommit: fec3683

• Verify that Docker Engine - Community is installed correctly by running the hello-world image:
  
  The command "docker run hello-world" downloads the hello-world image and runs it in a container.
  When the container runs, it prints a "Hello from Docker!" message and exits.
  
  $ sudo docker run hello-world Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world 1b930d010525: Pull complete Digest: sha256:4fe721ccc2e8dc7362278a29dc660d833570ec2682f4e4194f4ee23e415e1064 Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID: https://hub.docker.com/ For more examples and ideas, visit: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/
