To ensure that we install Docker from the official Docker repository and not from the Ubuntu repository issue the following commands:
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common apt-transport-https ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 9DC858229FC7DD38854AE2D88D81803C0EBFCD88
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
Update the packages:
sudo apt-get update
Issue the following command to install Docker
sudo apt-get install docker-ce -y
If you would like the current user to run docker commands without using sudo, then issue the following command:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
