Installing Docker in docker-container running Ubuntu 20.04

2 min readJan 20, 2022

Step #1.) Let’s first check, which version of Ubuntu right now we have :-

cat /etc/lsb-release

Step #2.) Next, let’s update with following commands :-

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg \
    lsb-release

Step #3.) Next, add Docker’s official GPG key:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

Step #4.) Next, use the following command to set up the stable repository. To add the nightly or test repository, add the word nightly or test (or both) after the word stable in the commands below. Learn about nightly and test channels.

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

Step #4.) Next, Install Docker Engine. Update the apt package index, and install the latest version of Docker Engine and containerd :-

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io \

Step #6.) Next, test the docker version :-

docker --version
