Thanks, just what I was looking for. Works well.

Thanks!

thanks !

I also want that when I start a new aws ec2 instance, it automatically downloads an image and run the container from that image, I can download the image, but it is not able to create the container using docker run command, can you help me with that?

ubuntu@ip-10-0-3-119:~$ docker --version
Command 'docker' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install docker # version 24.0.5, or
sudo apt install podman-docker # version 4.9.3+ds1-1ubuntu0.1
sudo apt install docker.io # version 24.0.5-0ubuntu1
See 'snap info docker' for additional versions.

I've been getting this with this one, plus any other UserData I tried to install docker with on AWS EC2 Ubuntu.
I don't understand what the issue is

Used today for Ubuntu 22 and it worked perfectly
