Docker Install Ubuntu 18.04 Lts



Build and run container images with Docker.

  1. Install Docker On Ubuntu 18.04 Lts
  2. Docker Install Ubuntu 18.04 Lts04 Lts
  3. Install Docker Compose On Ubuntu 18.04 Lts

Usage

  • This build can only access files in the home directory. So Dockerfiles and all other files used in commands like docker build, docker save and docker load need to be in $HOME.
  • You can change the configuration of this build by modifying the files in /var/snap/docker/current/.
  • Additional certificates used by the Docker daemon to authenticate with registries need to be added in /var/snap/docker/common/etc/certs.d (instead of /etc/docker/certs.d).

Running Docker as normal user

By default, Docker is only accessible with root privileges (sudo). If you want to use docker as a regular user, you need to add your user to the docker group.

Warning: if you add your user to the docker group, it will have similar power as the root user. For details on how this impacts security in your system, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/#docker-daemon-attack-surface

Install Docker Compose from Ubuntu's repository. This is the easiest and recommend method. Unless you need the latest Docker Compose version for some specific reasons, you can manage very well with the docker compose version provides by Ubuntu. Docker Compose is available in the universe repository of Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 so make sure to.

  1. Note: If you are using Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04, you can install Collabora Online from the official package repository, which is easier to manage than using Docker. It’s assumed that you have already set up a Nextcloud server, which can be on any Linux distribution.
  2. The best thing to install Anbox on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 19.04/18.04 LTS, we don’t need to add any third-party repository or the PPA repo; as the packages, we need to configure Anbox are already available on the official source list of Ubuntu, thus either using the APT package Manager or SNAP, we set this up on our Linux PC or Laptop.
  3. Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things.

Docker Compose is a Python program that lets you easily deploy multiple containers on a server.

As you start exploring Docker, you'll learn that often to run a certain web-app, you'll need to run various services (like database, web-server etc) in different containers.

Deploying multiple containers is a lot easier with Docker Compose.

In this tutorial, you'll learn two ways of installing Docker Compose on Ubuntu:

  • Installing Docker Compose from Ubuntu's repository: Easier method but may not have the latest version of docker compose
  • Installing the latest Docker Compose using PIP: Gets you the newer docker compose version

Keep in mind that to use Docker Compose, you must have Docker installed on Ubuntu.

Install Docker Compose from Ubuntu's repository

This is the easiest and recommend method. Unless you need the latest Docker Compose version for some specific reasons, you can manage very well with the docker compose version provides by Ubuntu.

Docker Compose is available in the universe repository of Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 so make sure to enable it first:

You probably won't need it but no harm in updating the local cache:

Now you can install Docker Compose in Ubuntu using this command:

You can check that Docker Compose is installed successfully by checking its version:

Install Docker On Ubuntu 18.04 Lts

Docker Install Ubuntu 18.04 Lts

It should show an output like this:

Install the latest Docker Compose on Ubuntu using PIP

PIP stands for 'PIP Installs Package'. It's a command-line based package manager for installing Python applications.

Since Docker Compose is basically a Python program, you can use PIP to install it.

But before you do that, you need to install PIP on Ubuntu first.

Enable the universe repository first.

Install PIP now:

Now that you have PIP installed use it to install Docker Compose for all users on your Linux system:

Docker Install Ubuntu 18.04 Lts04 Lts

Check the Docker Compose version to ensure that it is installed successfully:

You can see that Docker Compose installed via PIP is more recent version.

I hope you were able to successfully install Docker Compose on Ubuntu with this tutorial. Questions and suggestions are welcome.
