How to Install Docker on Amazon Linux 2023?
Docker is an essential tool for modern software development and deployment. It allows you to package applications and their dependencies into containers, ensuring consistency across different environments. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to install Docker on Amazon Linux 2023.
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have:
- An instance of Amazon Linux 2023 running.
- Sudo or root access on your instance.
Step 1: Update Your System
First, ensure your system is up to date by running the following commands:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf upgrade -y
Step 2: Install Docker
Next, we'll install Docker using the Amazon Linux 2023 package repository. Run the following command to install Docker:
sudo dnf install docker -y
Step 3: Start and Enable Docker
After installing Docker, you need to start the Docker service and enable it to start on boot:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Step 4: Verify the Docker Installation
To verify that Docker is installed correctly, run the following command:
sudo docker --version
You should see output similar to this:
Docker version 20.10.17, build 100c701
Step 5: Add Your User to the Docker Group (Optional)
By default, Docker commands can only be run by the root user or by users in the docker
group. To avoid using sudo
with Docker commands, add your user to the docker
group:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
After running this command, log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.
Step 6: Test Docker Installation
Finally, let's test if Docker is working correctly by running the hello-world
container:
docker run hello-world
You should see a message indicating that Docker is installed correctly.
Conclusion
You have successfully installed Docker on Amazon Linux 2023! You can now start building and running your Docker containers. For more information on using Docker, check out the official Docker documentation.
