Debian Docker installation

Docker supports the following Debian versions:

  • Buster 10
  • Stretch 9 (stable) / Raspbian Stretch

Docker Engine-Community is supported on x86_64 (or amd64) armhf, and arm64 architectures.


Automatic installation using official installation script

The installation command is as follows:

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | bash -s docker --mirror Aliyun

Manual installation

uninstall old version

Older versions of Docker were called docker, docker.io or docker-engine, if installed, uninstall them:

$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

Install Docker Engine-Community

Install using Docker repository

Before installing Docker Engine-Community for the first time on a new host, you need to set up the Docker repository. After that, you can install and update Docker from the repository.

Raspbian users cannot use this method!

For Raspbian, installing using repositories is not yet supported. You must use the shell script mode instead.

Set up warehouse

Update the apt package index.

$ sudo apt-get update

Install apt dependencies for fetching repositories over HTTPS.

$ sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg2 \
    software-properties-common

Add Docker's official GPG key: 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88. Verify that you now have the key with the fingerprint by searching for the last 8 characters of the fingerprint.

$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

pub 4096R/0EBFCD88 2017-02-22
      Key fingerprint = 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid Docker Release (CE deb) <docker@docker.com>
sub 4096R/F273FCD8 2017-02-22

Install Docker Engine-Community

Update the apt package index:

$ sudo apt-get update

Install the latest versions of Docker Engine-Community and containerd, or go to the next step to install a specific version:

$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Install a specific version using a version string, such as 5:18.09.1~3-0~debian-stretch.

$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce=<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli=<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io

To test whether Docker is successfully installed, enter the following command and print the following information to indicate that the installation is successful:

$ sudo docker run hello-world

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

uninstall docker

Remove the installation package:

sudo apt-get purge docker-ce

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
