Ubuntu VM

Example: Download the latest version of Ubuntu Desktop and create the Ubuntu VM with your preferred virtualization software.

Install Docker

Follow the instructions here to install docker.

Note:

If you are seeing the following error after running sudo apt-get install docker-ce to install docker-ce.

E: Invalid operation docker-ce

Try running the following command to setup the stable repository that instead specifies an older Ubuntu distribution like xenial instead of using lsb_release -cs (using bionic doesn't seem to always works).

$ sudo add-apt-repository \
  "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  xenial \
 stable"

Now try running $ sudo apt-get install docker-ce again.

To manage docker as a non-root user (so you don't have to keep using sudo) follow the instructions here. You must log out and log back in (or just restart your VM) so that your group membership is re-evaluated
