  1. How to Install Docker on Debian 12: All Possible Methods greenwebpage.com/community/how-to-install-docker-on-debian-12/ April 3, 2025 Tutorials by Karim Buzdar April 3, 2025 Docker has increasingly been embraced as a fundamental tool for managing and deploying software applications. It is a containerization system that enables users to modularize and execute their software applications in self-sufficient environments called containers. Docker can be run and used on multiple platforms, such as Windows, MacOS, and Linux distributions like Debian. This tutorial will explain how to install Docker on a Debian 12 system by using different methods. How to Install Docker on Debian 12? Docker can be installed using the following methods on a Debian 12 system: Method 1: From Default Debian Repository Docker can be found as part of the software package collection in the default Debian repository. This is the most straightforward way to install Docker, However, it is highly recommended to avoid installing it this way, as the version of Docker provided is 1/9

  2. outdated. Follow the instructions below to install Docker on your Debian 12 using this method. Step 1: Update Debian System Before beginning the installation of Docker, you are only a few steps away from getting your system updated. Copy and paste these commands, and your system’s packages will be updated: sudo apt update Now, this will refresh Debian’s repository packages. Step 2: Install Docker Now, with the help of this command, you can install the Docker package “docker.io” from the official Debian repository: sudo apt install docker.io -y Step 3: Verify Installation 2/9

  3. To verify that Docker has been installed on your Debian system, execute the below command to check its version: docker --version As you can see, the output shows the version of Docker that is installed in the system: Method 2: From the Official Docker Repository By installing it from the official Docker repository, you will be able to install the latest versions with ease. This method offers up-to-date docker packages with the latest features and updates. Furthermore, it will even go the extra mile and fetch the new version of Docker and automatically install it via the package manager as soon as it is available in the official repository. Follow these steps so that you can install Docker on your Debian 12 system: Step 1: Install Required Dependencies Copy and execute these commands if you want to install the docker on your Debian 12 system: sudo apt install gnupg apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl Step 2: Import Docker GPG Key Next, let’s move on to import the Docker GPG key with the command provided above to validate the integrity of the packages. curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker.gpg 3/9

  4. Step 3: Add Docker Repository to Debian 12 Following that, you can add/import the Docker’s proprietary repository to the system in Debian 12. echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed- by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null Step 4: Refresh System’s Packages Now, update your system for the implementation of new changes. sudo apt update Step 5: Install Docker Now, you can install the new and required packages of Docker which are “docker-ce” docker engine community edition, “docker-ce-cli” command line interface for docker, and “containerd.io” container runtime found within the below command. sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io 4/9

  5. Step 6: Verification Finally, you can run the docker version command to check the version installed on your machine, and it is observed that Docker’s latest version has been installed successfully. docker --version It can be observed that the Docker’s latest has been successfully installed: Method 3: From the Deb Package File Another way of downloading Docker is by going to the official page and downloading the latest version by opening and using the Deb package file. This is how you can install Docker on Debian 12 through the Deb package file. Step 1: Download Docker Package Files To begin, navigate to the official Docker website, copy the required link for the latest Docker deb file, open your terminal, and paste the command ‘wget’ to download it to your device. At this step, we are fetching the Debian packages for the “containerd.io”, “docker- ce”, and “docker-ce-cli” files. For “containerd.io”: wget https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/dists/bookworm/pool/stable/amd64/container 1_amd64.deb 5/9

  6. For “docker-ce”: wget https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/dists/bookworm/pool/stable/amd64/docker- ce_25.0.3-1~debian.12~bookworm_amd64.deb For “docker-ce-cli”: wget https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/dists/bookworm/pool/stable/amd64/docker- ce-cli_25.0.3-1~debian.12~bookworm_amd64.deb You may also opt to get the Docker deb files from their site by simply visiting the website on the links. Step 2: Installing Docker Next, proceed to install the downloaded deb files with this command to ensure you have Docker’s latest version: sudo apt install ./containerd.io_1.6.28-1_amd64.deb 6/9

  7. Step 3: Verify Installation To confirm you have Docker installed on your machine, run the command below to see the version of Docker installed: docker --version The output presented below depicts the most recent version of Docker that is currently operational on the machine. Method 4: From the Snap Store The Snap Store has a Docker snap package that can be effortlessly added to Debian 12 using the snap command. The Docker installation for Debian 12 through the Snap store can be done using the following instructions. Step 1: Install and Enable Snap The Snap package manager is not available by default on the Debian 12 Operating System. Therefore, it should first be enabled for Snap packages including Docker. Step 2: Install Docker on Debian 12 Then install Docker’s snap package on your Debian 12 Operating System using the command below: sudo snap install docker 7/9

  8. Method 5: From Docker Shell Script One of the easiest and also fastest ways to configure Docker on Debian 12 would be by using the provided Docker shell script. Docker provides this shell script to streamline the process of configuring Docker on the user’s system. You can check the instructions given below to configure Docker from the shell scripts on Debian 12: Step 1: Download the Shell Script First, use the ‘curl’ command to fetch and store the shell script on the user’s Debian 12 system. The name of the file would be ‘get-docker.sh’: curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh Step 2: Install Docker Now configure Docker on Debian 12 using the downloaded ‘get-docker.sh’ file with the command listed below: sudo sh get-docker.sh You can view that this shell script has configured Docker with its latest version installed: 8/9

  9. docker --version Final Thoughts Docker can be installed on the Debian 12 system through the default Debian repository, Snap Store, official Docker repository, deb files, or via a shell script. While the default Debian repository and download script are arguably the quickest methods of installation, Docker’s official repository and the deb files methods are far superior, as they will provide you with the latest version of Docker with new features. 9/9
