To Install Docker On Debian 12

Introduction:

Docker is a software platform that lets you create, deploy, and run applications inside containers. Containers are like lightweight, self-contained virtual machines that package up your code and everything it needs to run, making it easy to move and deploy applications across different environments.

Procedure Steps:

Step 1: Check the OS version by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL=https://bugs.debian.org/

Step 2: Update the package list by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
197 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

Step 3: Add docker gpg key by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

Step 4: Add the docker repository by using the below command.

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

Step 5: Again update the package list by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# apt update
Get:1 https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm InRelease [43.3 kB]
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease
Get:4 https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm/stable amd64 Packages [13.5 kB]
Hit:5 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security InRelease
Fetched 56.8 kB in 1s (50.7 kB/s)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
197 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

Step 6: Install docker by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  docker-buildx-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras git git-man iptables
  liberror-perl libip6tc2 libslirp0 pigz slirp4netns
Suggested packages:
  aufs-tools cgroupfs-mount | cgroup-lite git-daemon-run | git-daemon-sysvinit
  git-doc git-email git-gui gitk gitweb git-cvs git-mediawiki git-svn
  firewalld
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-ce docker-ce-cli
  docker-ce-rootless-extras docker-compose-plugin git git-man iptables
  liberror-perl libip6tc2 libslirp0 pigz slirp4netns

Step 7: Verify the installation by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
c1ec31eb5944: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:ac69084025c660510933cca701f615283cdbb3aa0963188770b54c31c8962493
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (amd64)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID:
 https://hub.docker.com/

For more examples and ideas, visit:
 https://docs.docker.com/get-started/

Step 8: Start the docker by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl start docker

Step 9: Check the status of docker by using the below command.

root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl status docker
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; preset: enabl>
     Active: active (running) since Wed 2023-12-27 05:29:31 IST; 1min 34s ago
TriggeredBy: ● docker.socket
       Docs: https://docs.docker.com
   Main PID: 36859 (dockerd)
      Tasks: 10
     Memory: 41.3M
        CPU: 1.161s
     CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service
             └─36859 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/con>

Step 10: Enable the docker by using the below command.
root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl enable docker
Synchronizing state of docker.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable docker
