Install and Configure Docker Compose on Ubuntu 22.04 Code Example

Hi Guys

This tutorial will give you example of Install and Configure Docker Compose on Ubuntu 22.04 Code Example. you will learn Do I Know if Docker is Installed on Ubuntu 22.04?. you can see Set Up Docker in Ubuntu 22.04. you will learn Install Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 (with Compose) + 3 Simple Tips.

You can use this post for ubuntu 14.04, ubuntu 16.04, ubuntu 18.4, ubuntu 20.04, ubuntu 21 and ubuntu 22.04 versions.

(1). Update System Dependencies

(2). Install Docker

(3). Configure Sudo permissions for Docker

(4). Using Docker Commands

Step 1: Update System Dependencies

following command to update the packages to the latest version available:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Docker

Make sure we install the latest version of Docker from the official Docker repository. The official Ubuntu repository also has the Docker installation package, but it may not be the latest version.

Let’s play with some commands to install docker on ubuntu 22.04 system; is as follows:

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

Add the GPG key of Docker repository.

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --
dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

Now add the Docker repository of Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) to the apt sources.

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Update the packages index and setup your server to install Docker from official Docker repo.

sudo apt update
sudo apt-cache policy docker-ce

Then we will receive an output similar to this: as is follow:

Output
docker-ce:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 5:20.10.14~3-0~ubuntu-jammy
    Version table:
        5:20.10.14~3-0~ubuntu-jammy 500
            500 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy/stable amd64 Packages
        5:20.10.13~3-0~ubuntu-jammy 500
            500 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy/stable amd64 Packages

Execute the following command on command prompt to install Docker on ubuntu 22.04 system:

sudo apt install docker-ce

To check the status of Docker you can use the following command.

sudo systemctl status docker

The output will be like this.

Output
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
    Active: active (running) since Wed 2022-05-04 06:43:00 UTC; 2min 28s ago

                └─12995 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// 
--containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock

Step 3: Configure Sudo permissions for Docker

Execute the following command to the docker group at a command prompt with a username:

sudo usermod -aG docker username

And restart SSH or open a new terminal to see the changes.

Step 4: Using Docker Commands

Use the following command to view the system information about Docker; is as follows:

docker info

Download Docker Images

docker run hello-world

If the output you get is similar to the below then you can access and download images from Docker Hub.

Output
