Preparation

Note: The following guide is an example installation on Ubuntu and Debian based systems. You need the above depedencies installed both on Application Server and Database Server. If you do not have it, please see the following installation guide to get it.

Install Docker Engine

  1. Update the apt package index and install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

    sudo apt update sudo apt install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

  2. Add Docker’s official GPG key:

    sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

  3. Use the following command to set up the repository:

    echo "deb \[arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg\] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb\_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

  4. Update the apt package index:

    sudo apt update

  5. Install Docker Engine, containerd, and Docker Compose.

    sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose

  6. Manage Docker as a non-root user.

    sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
