In the past, every time I needed to install docker on a new Linux server, I’d
go to the official documentation page
and follow the steps for my specific distro, which is usually Debian. There
are several installation methods, and I’d normally go with the
`apt repository` one.
– This means setting up the repo, adding the GPG key, installing docker, etc.
– Not difficult, but you still have to go through the documentation to find
the right commands and after installing docker a few times, it gets kinda
tedious.
– In the official documentation, there’s also a method at the end that reads
`Use a convenience script`, which is what will be covered in this guide.
– This guide applies if you’ll install Docker Engine on a linux server,
using one of the supported distros.
This is not`a guide to install `Docker desktop` on either Linux, Windows or Mac.

## What distro am I using?
– I’m using `Debian`, but these commands should work for any debian based
distro, like the most popular one Ubuntu
## All in one script
– I created this script that does the following:
– 1 – Make sure docker is NOT already installed
– 2 – Check you have sudo permissions
– 3 – Show you the versions and ask you which one you want to install
– This is useful if for example you want to install a specific docker
version so that it matches the rest of your docker hosts in your swarm
cluster
– 4 – Add your user to the `docker` group so you can run docker commands
without sudo
– 5 – Execute the docker convenience script
– If you want to understand better what the script does, go inspect it in github
