sudo apt update\nsudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n![\"Update](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pi-update-os.jpg\")
<\/a>Update packages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs you can see, no updated packages are available, but if you have any, apply them before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Install Docker on Raspberry Pi OS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Setting up Docker on a Raspberry Pi is simple because Docker\u2019s installation script automates the entire process. All you have to do is run the curl command<\/a> below, which will download the script and pipe<\/a> it to the command line for execution.<\/p>\n\n\ncurl -sSL https:\/\/get.docker.com | sudo sh<\/span><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> JavaScript<\/span> (<\/span>javascript<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWait for the installation to complete; at the end, you should receive an output similar to the one shown in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Installing](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pi-install-docker.jpg\")
<\/a>Installing Docker on Raspberry Pi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThat’s all. To confirm the running status of the Docker service, issue the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n
sudo systemctl is-active docker<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n![\"Check](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pi-check-docker-service.jpg\")
<\/a>Check service status.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs you can see, Docker is up and running as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Allow Non-Root User to Execute Docker Commands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So far, we have successfully installed Docker on our Raspberry Pi OS system. However, only root and users with sudo privileges<\/a> can execute Docker commands by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, if you now attempt to run the docker<\/code> command without prefixing it with sudo<\/code>, you\u2019ll get an output like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Trying](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/docker-pemission-deniaed.jpg\")
<\/a>Trying to run the docker command as a regular user.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBut don\u2019t be concerned. There\u2019s a simple solution. To run Docker commands as a non-root user, add your user to the \u201cdocker<\/em>\u201d group<\/a>. To do that, type in the following:<\/p>\n\n\nsudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nIn the above command, ${USER} is an environment variable that holds your username. First, reboot your Raspberry Pi OS system to apply for the new group membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, you can execute docker commands without prefixing them with sudo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Run](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pi-run-docker-as-regular-user.jpg\")
<\/a>Run a Docker command as a regular user.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 4: Test the Docker Installation on Raspberry Pi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now let\u2019s check if everything with our new Docker installation works properly. For this purpose, we will pull and run a simple container called \u201chello-world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
docker run hello-world<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n![\"Docker](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pi-run-docker-container.jpg\")
<\/a>Docker successfully installed, up & running on Raspberry Pi OS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCongratulations! As we can see, everything works as expected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uninstall Docker on Your Raspberry Pi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you decide to uninstall Docker from your Raspberry Pi system for any reason, you can do it easily by running the command below.<\/p>\n\n\n
sudo apt remove docker-ce docker-ce-cli docker-buildx-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras docker-compose-plugin<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n![\"Uninstall](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pi-docker-uninstall.jpg\")
<\/a>Uninstall Docker on Raspberry Pi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Installing Docker on a Raspberry Pi can be a great way to take advantage of the Pi’s capabilities as a low-cost, energy-efficient server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Docker, you can easily set up and manage containers for various applications and services (check out the best ones<\/a>) without worrying about compatibility issues or dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe hope that this guide has helped get you started with Docker on your Raspberry Pi and that you can now take advantage of the many benefits that Docker offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
