# docker
**Install Docker and tools**
## Purpose
This cube installs Docker Engine, Docker Compose, and popular Docker management tools to enable containerized application deployment and management.
## What is Docker?
Docker is a platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers. Containers package an application with all its dependencies, ensuring it runs consistently across different environments.
Key benefits:
- **Isolation**: Each container runs independently with its own filesystem, network, and processes
- **Portability**: Containers run the same way on any system that supports Docker
- **Efficiency**: Containers share the host OS kernel, making them lighter than virtual machines
- **Scalability**: Easily deploy and scale containerized applications
## What This Cube Does
1. **Adds Docker's official repository**
- Downloads and installs Docker's GPG key
- Configures APT to use Docker's official package repository
2. **Installs Docker components**
- `docker-ce` - Docker Community Edition engine
- `docker-ce-cli` - Command-line interface for Docker
- `containerd.io` - Container runtime
- `docker-buildx-plugin` - Extended build capabilities with BuildKit
- `docker-compose-plugin` - Tool for defining multi-container applications
3. **Installs management tools**
- **lazydocker** - Terminal UI for Docker and Docker Compose management
- **docker-ctop** - Container metrics and monitoring (top-like interface for containers)
## Configuration
This cube currently has no configurable parameters.
## Dependencies
None - this cube can run standalone.
## Post-Installation
After deployment:
- Add users to the `docker` group to run Docker without sudo: `sudo usermod -aG docker username`
- Start using Docker: `docker run hello-world`
- Use lazydocker for easy management: `lazydocker`
- Monitor containers: `ctop`
## Notes
The Docker daemon starts automatically on boot. You can manage it with systemd:
- Check status: `sudo systemctl status docker`
- Restart: `sudo systemctl restart docker`
