Docker¶
Docker is required for containerized deployments and running many development environments.
Install Docker on Debian¶
Docker can be installed using Debian's standard packages. For Debian 12 and earlier, install docker.io. For Debian 13 and onward, install both docker.io and docker-cli:
Install Docker (Debian standard packages)
sudo apt-get update
# For Debian 12 and earlier:
sudo apt-get install docker.io
# For Debian 13 and onward:
sudo apt-get install docker.io docker-cli
Add Docker to ToolingBins¶
Docker is installed system-wide, so no symlink is needed. You can add a symlink for convenience:
Symlink docker
cd ~/ToolingBins
ln -s /usr/bin/docker docker
Update Docker¶
To update Docker, run:
Update Docker (Debian standard packages)
sudo apt-get update
# For Debian 12 and earlier:
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade docker.io
# For Debian 13 and onward:
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade docker.io docker-cli
