How to install docker in Amazon Linux #

Created: June 13, 2020 12:14 AM URL: https://www.lewuathe.com/how-to-install-docker-in-amazon-linux.html ! Our daily development tends to depend on the container platform highly. But I found AWS Linux I recently launched does not have Docker engine as default. Here is the process to install Docker engine in your AWS Linux. That article is written mainly for avoiding my memory lost :) FYI: The AMI I used in this experiment is ami-0f9ae750e8274075b.

Install Docker Engine #

$ sudo yum update -y
$ sudo yum install -y docker
$ sudo service docker start
Starting cgconfig service: [ OK ]
Starting Docker: [ OK ]

Add User Group #

But you need to prepend sudo every time you run docker command.

$ sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user

After you log in the instance again, you should be able to run docker command without any difficulty.
