Docker Setup Exercise

  • Install using Ubuntu repositories:

    sudo apt install docker.io -y
  • Alternatively, by downloading from download.docker.com

  • Checking that docker cli (command line interface) is installed:

    docker --version
  • Checking that docker daemon is running

    sudo docker images
  • Expected output is an empty list as we have not created/pulled any images

  • Running your first container:

    sudo docker run hello-world
  • Expected output:

    78445dd45222: Pull complete  
    Digest: sha256:c5515758d4c5e1e838e9cd307f6c6a0d620b5e07e6f927b07d05f6d12a1ac8d7  
    Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest  
    Hello from Docker!  
    ... more text comes here...
  • List your container:

    sudo docker ps -a
  • Expected output is a list with one item on it
