Install Docker (CE) on Linux Mint (Ubuntu) ========================================== #. Update apt package index. .. code-block:: bash $ sudo apt update #. Install required packages. .. code-block:: bash $ sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent $ software-properties-common #. Add Dockers official GPG key. .. code-block:: bash $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg .. admonition:: Optional **Verify the key with fingerprint** .. code-block:: bash $ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88 Output should display 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88 (check the last 8 digits). #. Add the Docker repository to your package index .. code-block:: bash $ echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(. /etc/os-release; echo "$UBUNTU_CODENAME") stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null .. hint:: Other Linux distributions require a different repository url (see `here `__) #. Check, if the repository was added to your "additional repositories list" .. code-block:: bash $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list The output should contain something like this: .. code-block:: none deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable #. Install docker components .. code-block:: bash $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli docker-compose containerd.io .. admonition:: Optional **Access docker without using 'sudo'** In order to access docker without the 'sudo' command, your current user must be added to the docker group (was created during installation) .. code-block:: bash $ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER Then, log out and re-log in to apply the changes #. Create an account on `Docker Hub `__. #. Add your Docker Hub login to your docker installation .. code-block:: bash $ docker login .. admonition:: Optional A warning message may appear: .. code-block:: WARNING! Your password will be stored unencrypted in /home//.docker/config.json. Install and setup `docker-credential-helper `__ to not leave your credentials unencrypted. #. Install `pass `__ and `gnupg2 `__: .. code-block:: bash $ sudo apt install pass gnupg2 #. Create a key pair which will be used to encrypt your password database: .. code-block:: bash $ gpg2 --quick-gen-key .. important:: In case you define a passphrase, keep it somewhere save, you will need it later. This will print out the public key ID (here: in red), e.g.: .. raw:: html

You can reprint it by running ``gpg2 --list-keys``. #. Ensure, that the primary key is trusted: .. code-block:: bash $ gpg --edit-key .. code-block:: bash gpg> trust gpg> 5 gpg> quit #. Set up *pass*: .. code-block:: bash $ pass init gpg2 $ pass insert docker-credential-helpers/docker-pass-initialized-check You should be prompted twice to enter your Docker Hub password. #. Download latest release of **docker-credential-pass** (utilizes **pass**) #. Extract the binary into a directory listed in PATH. #. Open your docker config file: .. code-block:: bash $ nano ~/.docker/config.json #. Erase all content (if any) and add: .. code-block:: none { "credsStore": "pass" } Save and close the file. #. Log into Docker Hub: .. code-block:: bash $ docker login --username=""} #. Check installation success .. code-block:: bash $ docker run --rm -it --name test alpine:latest /bin/sh * Output should be, that alpine:latest isn't found and is downloaded * Entering alpine shell after installation Enter this into the alpine shell: .. code-block:: bash $ cat /etc/os-release which should output the alpine distribution info. Type ``exit`` to close the connection. **Sources**: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu https://computingforgeeks.com/install-docker-docker-compose-on-linux-mint https://askubuntu.com/questions/477551/how-can-i-use-docker-without-sudo
