Docker Engine Installer

This is an Ansible-based installer for Docker Engine (formerly known as Docker CE) on various Linux Platforms. It has been tested on:

• Debian 10 + 11
• Rocky Linux 8 + 9, CentOS Stream 9
• openSUSE Leap 15
• Ubuntu 20.04 + 22.04

Installation prerequisites:

You will need ansible (installation: see here) and (of course) git.

Installation:

Clone this repository and ch'dir into project folder:

git clone https://github.com/ansible-buch/docker-installer.git
cd docker-installer

Then start the installer.yml with root permissions; e.g.:

sudo ./installer.yml

⚠️ This requires your ansible-playbook-command to be installed in /usr/bin. If you get an error here, please fix the first line ("shebang") in installer.yml. (Use type ansible-playbook to see your installation path.)

If you want to put a non-root user into the docker group, just add -e docker_user=USERNAME, e.g.;

sudo ./installer.yml -e docker_user=vagrant

After a while, you will have Docker and these additional tools installed:

• docker-compose
• ctop
• reg
