Install docker docker compose almalinux

This guide will walk you through installing Docker and the Docker Compose plugin on AlmaLinux 8 and 9.

Before you begin, make sure that you have removed any old versions of Docker and Docker Compose:

sudo dnf remove docker docker-client docker-client-latest docker-common docker-latest docker-latest-logrotate docker-logrotate docker-engine

Also, make sure that podman is not installed as it will conflict with Docker.

sudo dnf remove podman

Before you install Docker, you should make sure that your system is up-to-date with all the latest packages:

sudo dnf update

The easiest way to install Docker is to use the official Docker repository. To do this, you will need to install the dnf-plugins-core package:

sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core

Once the package is installed, you can add the Docker repository:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

Now that the repository is installed, you can install Docker:

sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Once Docker is installed, you can start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker

You can also enable Docker to start on boot:

sudo systemctl enable docker

You're now ready to use Docker!
