Installing Docker on Centos 8

Introduction

In opposite to Centos 7, the next version does not have the container.io package in main repositories, which is required to have the Docker. To install Docker on Centos 8, we have to first add Docker repository to our system.

Adding GitLab repository

Fortunatelly, Docker provides third party repository with all required packages. To add the repository, execute the following: sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo. Now dnf should be able to install docker-ce package.

Installing Docker

Finally we can install docker package.

sudo dnf install docker-ce

[taciaka@leszy yum.repos.d]$ sudo dnf install docker-ce
