[TP] Docker Installation

Prerequisites #

None. You just need to have a machine running Windows, Linux, or Mac.

Docker #

In this lab, we will install a Docker server.

Installation Type Selection
You need to define what type of installation you need to perform based on your OS.
As indicated during the training, if you are on an OS:
- Linux, you can simply proceed with the installation of the Docker daemon (server).
- Windows or MAC, you need to proceed with the Docker Desktop installation.
Docker Desktop can also be installed on Linux but it is not recommended to do so on a PRODUCTION server.
Installation
Once the installation type is chosen, proceed with the installation.
You can find all installation procedures on the Docker site at: Install Docker Engine

You just need to pick and follow the procedure.

Our test environment is on an Ubuntu machine, so we will follow this procedure: Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu
