Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu
To get started with Docker Engine on Ubuntu, make sure you
meet the prerequisites, and then follow the
installation steps.
Prerequisites
OS requirements
To install Docker Engine, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Ubuntu
versions:
- Ubuntu Kinetic 22.10
- Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 (LTS)
- Ubuntu Focal 20.04 (LTS)
- Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 (LTS)
Docker Engine is compatible with x86_64 (or amd64), armhf, arm64, and
s390x architectures.
Uninstall old versions
Older versions of Docker went by the names of docker
, docker.io
, or
docker-engine
, you might also have installations of containerd
or runc
.
Uninstall any such older versions before attempting to install
a new version:
$
sudo
apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
apt-get
might report that you have none of these packages installed.
Images, containers, volumes, and networks stored in /var/lib/docker/
aren’t
automatically removed when you uninstall Docker. If you want to start with a
clean installation, and prefer to clean up any existing data, read the
uninstall Docker Engine section.
Installation methods
You can install Docker Engine in different ways, depending on your needs:
-
Docker Engine comes bundled with
Docker Desktop for Linux. This is
the easiest and quickest way to get started. -
Set up and install Docker Engine from
Docker’sapt
repository. -
Install it manually and manage upgrades manually.
-
Use a convenience scripts. Only
recommended for testing and development environments.
Install using the apt repository
Before you install Docker Engine for the first time on a new host machine, you
need to set up the Docker repository. Afterward, you can install and update
Docker from the repository.
Set up the repository
-
Update the
apt
package index and install packages to allowapt
to use a
repository over HTTPS:$
sudo
apt-get update$
sudo
apt-getinstall
\
ca-certificates\
curl\
gnupg -
Add Docker’s official GPG key:
$
sudo install
-m
0755-d
/etc/apt/keyrings$
-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 -
Use the following command to set up the repository:
$
echo
\
"deb [arch="
$(
dpkg--print-architecture
)
" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
\
"
$(
.
/etc/os-release&&
echo
"
$VERSION_CODENAME
"
)
" stable"
|\
sudo tee
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list>
/dev/null
Install Docker Engine
-
Update the
apt
package index:$
sudo
apt-get update -
Install Docker Engine, containerd, and Docker Compose.
To install the latest version, run:
$
sudo
apt-getinstall
docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-pluginTo install a specific version of Docker Engine, start by listing the available
versions in the repository:#
$
awk
'{ print $3 }'
5:20.10.16~3-0~ubuntu-jammy 5:20.10.15~3-0~ubuntu-jammy 5:20.10.14~3-0~ubuntu-jammy 5:20.10.13~3-0~ubuntu-jammy
Select the desired version and install:
$
VERSION_STRING
=
5:20.10.13~3-0~ubuntu-jammy$
sudo
apt-getinstall
docker-ce=
$VERSION_STRING
docker-ce-cli=
$VERSION_STRING
containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin -
Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the
hello-world
image:$
sudo
docker run hello-worldThis command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
You have now successfully installed and started Docker Engine.
Receiving errors when trying to run without root?
The
docker
user group exists but contains no users, which is why you’re required
to usesudo
to run Docker commands. Continue to Linux post-install
to allow non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration steps.
Upgrade Docker Engine
To upgrade Docker Engine, follow the
installation instructions, choosing the new version
you want to install.
Install from a package
If you can’t use Docker’s apt
repository to install Docker Engine, you can
download the deb
file for your release and install it manually. You need to
download a new file each time you want to upgrade Docker Engine.
-
Go to
https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/
. -
Select your Ubuntu version in the list.
-
Go to
pool/stable/
and select the applicable architecture (amd64
,
armhf
,arm64
, ors390x
). -
Download the following
deb
files for the Docker Engine, CLI, containerd,
and Docker Compose packages:containerd.io_<version>_<arch>.deb
docker-ce_<version>_<arch>.deb
docker-ce-cli_<version>_<arch>.deb
docker-buildx-plugin_<version>_<arch>.deb
docker-compose-plugin_<version>_<arch>.deb
-
Install the
.deb
packages. Update the paths in the following example to
where you downloaded the Docker packages.$
sudo
dpkg-i
./containerd.io_<version>_<arch
>
.deb\
./docker-ce_<version>_<arch
>
.deb\
./docker-ce-cli_<version>_<arch
>
.deb\
./docker-buildx-plugin_<version>_<arch
>
.deb\
./docker-compose-plugin_<version>_<arch
>
.debThe Docker daemon starts automatically.
-
Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the
hello-world
image:$
sudo
service docker start$
sudo
docker run hello-worldThis command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
You have now successfully installed and started Docker Engine. The docker
user
group exists but contains no users, which is why you’re required to use sudo
to run Docker commands. Read Linux post-install
to allow non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional
configuration steps.
Upgrade Docker Engine
To upgrade Docker Engine, download the newer package files and repeat the
installation procedure, pointing to the new files.
Install using the convenience script
Docker provides a convenience script at
https://get.docker.com/ to install Docker into
development environments non-interactively. The convenience script isn’t
recommended for production environments, but it’s useful for creating a
provisioning script tailored to your needs. Also refer to the
install using the repository steps to learn
about installation steps to install using the package repository. The source code
for the script is open source, and you can find it in the
docker-install
repository on GitHub.
Always examine scripts downloaded from the internet before running them locally.
Before installing, make yourself familiar with potential risks and limitations
of the convenience script:
- The script requires
root
orsudo
privileges to run. - The script attempts to detect your Linux distribution and version and
configure your package management system for you. - The script doesn’t allow you to customize most installation parameters.
- The script installs dependencies and recommendations without asking for
confirmation. This may install a large number of packages, depending on the
current configuration of your host machine. - By default, the script installs the latest stable release of Docker,
containerd, and runc. When using this script to provision a machine, this may
result in unexpected major version upgrades of Docker. Always test upgrades in
a test environment before deploying to your production systems. - The script isn’t designed to upgrade an existing Docker installation. When
using the script to update an existing installation, dependencies may not be
updated to the expected version, resulting in outdated versions.
Tip: preview script steps before running
You can run the script with the
--dry-run
option to learn what steps the
script will run when invoked:
$
curl
-fsSL
https://get.docker.com-o
get-docker.sh$
sudo
sh ./get-docker.sh--dry-run
This example downloads the script from
https://get.docker.com/ and runs it to install the
latest stable release of Docker on Linux:
$
curl -fsSL
https://get.docker.com -o
get-docker.sh
$
sudo
sh get-docker.sh
Executing docker install script, commit: 7cae5f8b0decc17d6571f9f52eb840fbc13b2737
<...>
You have now successfully installed and started Docker Engine. The docker
service starts automatically on Debian based distributions. On RPM
based
distributions, such as CentOS, Fedora, RHEL or SLES, you need to start it
manually using the appropriate systemctl
or service
command. As the message
indicates, non-root users can’t run Docker commands by default.
Use Docker as a non-privileged user, or install in rootless mode?
The installation script requires
root
orsudo
privileges to install and
use Docker. If you want to grant non-root users access to Docker, refer to the
post-installation steps for Linux.
You can also install Docker withoutroot
privileges, or configured to run in
rootless mode. For instructions on running Docker in rootless mode, refer to
run the Docker daemon as a non-root user (rootless mode).
Install pre-releases
Docker also provides a convenience script at
https://test.docker.com/ to install pre-releases of
Docker on Linux. This script is equal to the script at get.docker.com
, but
configures your package manager to use the test channel of the Docker package
repository. The test channel includes both stable and pre-releases (beta
versions, release-candidates) of Docker. Use this script to get early access to
new releases, and to evaluate them in a testing environment before they’re
released as stable.
To install the latest version of Docker on Linux from the test channel, run:
$
curl -fsSL
https://test.docker.com -o
test-docker.sh
$
sudo
sh test-docker.sh
Upgrade Docker after using the convenience script
If you installed Docker using the convenience script, you should upgrade Docker
using your package manager directly. There’s no advantage to re-running the
convenience script. Re-running it can cause issues if it attempts to re-install
repositories which already exist on the host machine.
Uninstall Docker Engine
-
Uninstall the Docker Engine, CLI, containerd, and Docker Compose packages:
$
sudo
apt-get purge docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras -
Images, containers, volumes, or custom configuration files on your host
aren’t automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and volumes:$
sudo rm
-rf
/var/lib/docker$
sudo rm
-rf
/var/lib/containerd
You have to delete any edited configuration files manually.
