How to configure Docker Desktop on Deepin Linux OS 20.9
I'm a passionate software developer.
Docker
Docker is a platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers.
Docker Desktop
Docker Desktop is a desktop application that provides an integrated development environment for Docker.
It allows developers to create, run, and manage Docker containers on their local machines with ease.
Two important characteristics are:
Docker Engine: Docker Desktop includes the Docker Engine, which is the core component of Docker, allowing you to create and run containers on your local system.
Container Management: It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for managing containers and images, making it easier to build, run, and monitor containerized applications.
Let's get down to business
shall we?
Check your OS (optional)
This step is just to make sure you have Deepin Linux installed.
lsb_release -a
hostnamectl
cat /etc/os-release
uname -a
Output
Update packages info
sudo apt-get update
Running sudo apt-get update is an important step before installing or upgrading packages on your system because it ensures that you have the most up-to-date information about available packages.
Without updating the package index, you might not see the latest versions of software or be able to install new packages that have been added to the repositories since the last update.
