Installing Docker

Previously:

I setup SSH on a freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 server.

Creating the Docker Server:

Next, I’m going to install Docker and get it ready to run the VPN and Plex containers.  For this part, I’m going to cheat a bit and use the script that Docker provides.  The code is as follows:

[shell]

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/docker-install/master/install.sh

sudo chmod +x install.sh

sudo ./install.sh

[/shell]

This downloads the [shell]install.sh[/shell] script, adds execute permissions to it, then runs the script.  The Docker script installs the correct version of Docker CE depending on your flavor of Linux, in my case Ubuntu 16.04.

After running the script, verify that Docker is installed by running:

[shell]

sudo docker run hello-world

[/shell]

And with that, Docker has successfully been installed, and I’m ready to move on to installing OpenVPN-AS!
