Abstract

The Docker Platform is a set of integrated technologies and solutions for building, sharing and running container-based applications, from the developer’s desktop to the cloud. It is based on Docker’s core. In this page the installation procedure is described.

Requirements

Dependencies:

• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS running on the VCS-1

Documentation

• Install docker and Ubuntu 18.04 container

Software

• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS arm64

Hardware

• VCS-1

Procedure

Update your existing list of packages:

$ sudo apt update

$ Install the prerequisite packages which let apt use packages over HTTPS:

$ sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common cgroupfs-mount

add the GPG key for the official Docker repository to your system:

$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Add the Docker repository to APT sources:

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=arm64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable"

Update the package database with the Docker packages and add the user to the docker group :

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install docker-ce
$ sudo addgroup ${USER} docker
$ su - ${USER}

Docker should now be installed, the daemon started, and the process enabled to start on boot. Check that it's running:

$ sudo systemctl status docker
