## Docker Data Directory
|
||
Docker stores its files, such as images, containers, and volumes, in specific directories. These are essential for Docker's operation.
|
||
|
||
- **`/var/lib/docker/`**: This is Docker's primary data directory where all data related to Docker is stored.
|
||
- **`/var/lib/docker/containers/`**: Contains the configurations and files for individual Docker containers.
|
||
- **`/var/lib/docker/volumes/`**: Stores the data for Docker volumes, which allow persistent data storage outside of containers.

## Installing Docker on Ubuntu
|
||
|
||
Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the commands used to install Docker on Ubuntu.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Update the package list and install required packages
|
||
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl
|
||
```
|
||
- **`sudo apt update`**: Updates the local package list to ensure you're downloading the latest versions.
|
||
- **`sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl`**: Installs essential packages like `ca-certificates` and `curl` for secure communication and downloading files.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Create a directory for Docker's GPG key and download it
|
||
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
|
||
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
|
||
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
|
||
```
|
||
- **`install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings`**: Creates the directory `/etc/apt/keyrings` with the correct permissions for storing GPG keys.
|
||
- **`curl -fsSL <url> -o <file>`**: Downloads Docker’s GPG key securely and stores it as `docker.asc`.
|
||
- **`chmod a+r`**: Gives read permission to all users for the GPG key file.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Add Docker's official repository to Apt sources
|
||
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
|
||
```
|
||
- **`dpkg --print-architecture`**: Determines the system's architecture (e.g., `amd64`).
|
||
- **`os-release`**: Fetches the OS version to ensure the correct Docker version is downloaded for your system.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Update the package list and install Docker
|
||
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
|
||
```
|
||
- **`docker-ce`**: Installs Docker Community Edition.
|
||
- **`docker-ce-cli`**: Installs the Docker command-line interface.
|
||
- **`containerd.io`**: Installs Containerd, a container runtime used by Docker.
|
||
- **`docker-buildx-plugin`**: Installs Docker Buildx, an advanced image builder.
|
||

### Image Management
|

Image management commands help you interact with Docker images: downloading, saving, loading, and removing images.

||
```
|
||
