Install Docker On CentOS On a Virtual Machine

In this blog post, I will show you how to install Docker on a CentOS virtual machine running in Azure.

Install

To start the process, I will run the following three commands that will install all the requirements and update the repository.

yum install -y yum-utils

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

yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

To set Docker to auto-start when the server starts, I will run the following commands:
