Install Docker
Doc:
First thing’s first- lets get rid of any previous installations of Docker
sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
First, update your existing list of packages:
sudo apt update
Next, install a few prerequisite packages which let apt use packages over HTTPS:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
Then add the GPG key for the official Docker repository to your system:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Add the Docker repository to APT sources:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable"
Next, update the package database with the Docker packages from the newly added repo:
sudo apt update
Make sure you are about to install from the Docker repo instead of the default Ubuntu repo:
apt-cache policy docker-ce
Install Docker:
sudo apt install docker-ce
You can list available versions included the one installed locally:
apt list -a docker-ce
Finally, we need to add your current user to the ‘docker’ group so that you are allowed to interface with the Docker Engine which will be running on your system as root:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Now, we need to start Docker’s Service with Windows. We’ll create a new script:
sudo nano /usr/local/sbin/start_docker.sh
With the following content:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo cgroupfs-mount
sudo service docker start
Enable execution + execute it:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/start_docker.sh
# Lock down edit privileges
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/start_docker.sh
/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/start_docker.sh
Next, we need to call our script with as root without user input:
sudo nano /etc/sudoers
And add the following to the bottom of the file:
# Enable docker services to start without sudo
<your username here> ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/start_docker.sh
Finally, start docker in an elevated prompt when Windows boots:
Windows Task Scheduler > Create Task + select “Run with highest privileges”.
Trigger user logon
New Action C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe and command argument -c "sudo /bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/start_docker.sh"
Right click the task we created in the Task Scheduler library and click Run!
Docker version:
docker -v
Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea838
Test docker:
docker run --rm hello-world
