Installing Docker

Docker is now available on the official Docker package registry as docker-ce. But before we install docker-ce, we should remove older versions of Docker that may be on our machine:

$ sudo apt remove -y docker docker-engine docker.io

Now, we can install docker-ce:

$ sudo apt install -y docker-ce

Verify if the installation is working by running sudo docker version. You should get an output similar to the following:

$ sudo docker versionClient: Version:      18.03.1-ce API version:  1.37 Go version:   go1.9.5 Git commit:   9ee9f40 Built:        Thu Apr 26 07:17:38 2018 OS/Arch:      linux/amd64 Experimental: false Orchestrator: swarmServer: Engine:  Version:      18.03.1-ce  API version:  1.37 (minimum version 1.12)  Go version:   go1.9.5 Git commit: 9ee9f40 ...
