Docker has become a go-to tool for managing containerized applications, offering portability, scalability, and efficiency across diverse environments. Rocky Linux 10<\/a>, with its solid Enterprise Linux<\/a> foundation, provides an ideal platform for running containerized workloads reliably in production settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, I\u2019ll walk you through the process of installing Docker on Rocky Linux 10. By following these steps, you’ll be up and running with Docker in no time, ready to build and manage containers with confidence on a robust RHEL-compatible platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Refresh the Package Base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, refresh the packages on your Rocky system to ensure you\u2019re using the latest software versions available in the distro\u2019s repos. If there are pending updates, apply them.<\/p>\n\n\n

sudo dnf update<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Bash<\/span> (<\/span>bash<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unsure about using Rocky\u2019s DNF package manager, I highly recommend checking out our \u201cDNF Command-Line Package Manager in Linux: A Complete Guide<\/a>.\u201d Now, back to the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Add Docker Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now let\u2019s add the official Docker repository to your Rocky Linux 10 system so you can install and update Docker directly from upstream\u2019s maintained RPM packages.<\/p>\n\n\n
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https:\/\/download.docker.com\/linux\/centos\/docker-ce.repo<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Bash<\/span> (<\/span>bash<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n

Step 3: Run System Update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Run the system update, which will force your Rocky system to refresh the package metadata for all enabled repositories and the packages available in them.<\/p>\n\n\n
sudo dnf update<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Bash<\/span> (<\/span>bash<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n

As you can see from the command\u2019s output, the newly added Docker repo is now available under the \u201cDocker CE Stable \u2013 x86_64<\/em>\u201d name. Additionally, you can also use the command below to verify that the Docker repo was properly added:<\/p>\n\n\n
sudo dnf repolist<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Bash<\/span> (<\/span>bash<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
\"List<\/a>

Step 4: Install Docker on Rocky Linux 10<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Finally, run the following command to install the latest up-to-date Docker release on Rocky Linux 10.<\/p>\n\n\n
sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Bash<\/span> (<\/span>bash<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
