Setting up Docker on Zorin OS 16.3

What is DOCKER?

Docker is an open-source platform that enables developers to package, distribute, and run applications inside isolated containers. These containers provide a lightweight and consistent environment for the application to execute, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. Docker has become hugely popular in the software development world due to its ease of use and flexibility.

Let’s get started..

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg

sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg — dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

echo \
“deb [arch=”$(dpkg — print-architecture)” signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
“$(. /etc/os-release && echo “$VERSION_CODENAME”)” stable” | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

We are done. Now let’s test if everything went smoothly.

sudo docker run hello-world

Done! Let’s Goooooo!
