Install Docker on Amazon Linux WorkSpaces

Posted on by Sarath Dontireddy

This is continuous to the post here , using Amazon Linux2 as my virtual desktop.

Amazon Linux doesnt come with docker pre installed so we need install required packages

Installing Docker And Starting the Service

$ sudo yum install -y docker

$ sudo service docker start

//Notice : sudo , pls refer below for explanation
$ sudo docker -version

Manage Docker as a non-root user

The Docker daemon binds to a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. By default that Unix socket is owned by the user root and other users can only access it using sudo. The Docker daemon always runs as the root user.
