Install Docker

Install Docker

Just follow the official guide for Docker on Alpine linux.

    sudo apk upgrade
    sudo apk update
    sudo apk add docker
    sudo addgroup bryan docker         
    sudo rc-update add docker default
    sudo service docker start
    sudo apk add docker-cli-compose
    sudo reboot

Obviously change ‘bryan’ for your user name…

Test Docker

To check docker, run

docker run hello-world 

This should pull and run a very simple test that prints a message “Hello from Docker” and then exit.

Clean up

Assuming all is ok, run:

    docker system prune -a

This will clean up and remove all docker stuff that is not being used.
