Install Docker

Containerize your services.

1. Update Hosts content

If you have changed the hostname before, it may not have been updated in /etc/hosts. Correct this to avoid problems during installation.

# Specify the current hostname in /etc/hosts
sudo sed -i "/^127\.0\.1\.1\s\+/s/\S\+$/$(hostname)/" /etc/hosts

2. Install Docker

Docker is a containerization service.

# Pull and run the specified shell script
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

# Enable and start Docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker
