Installing Docker on CentOS 8

Docker is an open-source containerization platform that allows you to automate the deployment and scaling of applications. It enables developers to package applications and their dependencies into containers, providing a consistent and isolated environment for running applications on any system.

To install Docker on CentOS 8, you can follow these steps:

1. Update the system packages:
   sudo dnf update -y
2. Install the necessary packages to enable Docker repository management:
   sudo dnf install -y dnf-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2
3. Add the Docker repository to your system:
   sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
4. Install Docker:
   sudo dnf install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
5. Start and enable the Docker service:
   sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
6. Verify the installation:
   docker --version

After following these steps, you should have Docker installed and running on your CentOS 8 system. You can now start using Docker to create and manage containers for your applications.
