Setup Docker¶

Let us setup docker. We will be using it to create Database required for this course.

Go to this link and follow the instructions to setup Docker.
Make sure to add the user to docker group so that we do not have to use sudo to manage Docker related components such as images, containers etc.
Let us validate docker by creating simple Hello World Container.
Here are the commands to setup docker and validate. Make sure to run these commands one at a time.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common -y
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable"
sudo apt update
apt-cache policy docker-ce
sudo apt install docker-ce -y

sudo systemctl status docker # Validates that docker is started

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

docker run hello-world
