Docker instalation

1. To install docker follow the below mentioned steps.

   1. Set up the repository
   2. Install Docker Engine

2. Configure docker to run without sudo.

   1. Manage Docker as a non-root user

3. Install Docker-compose by running the follwing command:

   • The following command will download the 2.16.0 release and save the executable file at /usr/local/bin/docker-compose, which will make this software globally accessible as docker-compose:

     sudo curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.16.0/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
     

   • Set the correct permissions so that the docker-compose command is executable:

     sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
     

   • To verify that the installation was successful, you can run:

     docker-compose --version
     

     You’ll see output similar to this:

     Output
     docker-compose version 2.16.0, build 5becea4c
     

     Docker Compose is now successfully installed on your system.

4. Download the follwing docker images to your local machine

   • docker pull postgres:14-alpine
     

     • Verify the image

       docker run --rm -ti postgres:14-alpine  psql -V
       

       Output: psql (PostgreSQL) 14.5
