Docker installation and set up in Ubuntu server

Here we are going to see easily how Docker can be installed on a Ubuntu based server.

First of all we will run two well known commands for Linux users:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

Once this is done we can continue and install Docker

apt-get install -y docker.io


once installed we can start Docker


systemctl start docker

And then probably you want it to start on system boot

systemctl enable docker

After these you can check docker status by

docker ps

Now you have Docker ready to start. In other entries will be seen the usage and deployment of different kind of images.
