How to install docker ce(Community Edition) or upgrade docker-ce

1. Uninstall Old Docker Versions if installed.

yum remove docker \
                  docker-client \
                  docker-client-latest \
                  docker-common \
                  docker-latest \
                  docker-latest-logrotate \
                  docker-logrotate \
                  docker-engine

> The Docker CE package is now called docker-ce.

2. Install the Pre-requisites

yum install -y yum-utils \
device-mapper-persistent-data \
  lvm2

3. Add the Repository.

yum-config-manager \
    --add-repo \
    https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

4. Install the Docker CE. This will install highest possible Docker Stable packages.

yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

5. To install a Specific Docker Package Please Follow Following steps.

yum list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r [root@ubuntu ~]# yum list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
Installed Packages
docker-ce.x86_64     3:18.09.3-3.el7                           docker-ce-stable
docker-ce.x86_64     3:18.09.2-3.el7                           docker-ce-stable
docker-ce.x86_64     3:18.09.1-3.el7                           docker-ce-stable
docker-ce.x86_64     3:18.09.0-3.el7                           docker-ce-stable

6. Now specify the Docker Specific version to Install.

yum install docker-ce-<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli-<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io

7. Docker is installed but not started. The docker group is created, but no users are added to the group. Now Start docker.

systemctl start docker

8. Now Test docker.

docker run hello-world

This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.

Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
1b930d010525: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:c3b4ada4687bbaa170745b3e4dd8ac3f194ca95b2d0518b417fb47e5879d9b5f
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:

 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (amd64)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:

 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

9. Enable it to Run time.

[root@server-~]# systemctl enable docker
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/docker.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service.
[root@server ~]#

Install using the convenience script

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sh get-docker.sh

If you would like to use Docker as a non-root user, you should now consider adding your user to the “docker” group with something like:

usermod -aG docker your-user
