One-liner to set up a basic docker. YMMV.

Ubuntu fresh docker install.txt

sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get -y install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common && \
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - && \
sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88 && \
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce=5:18.09.5~3-0~ubuntu-bionic docker-ce-cli=5:18.09.5~3-0~ubuntu-bionic containerd.io && \
sudo usermod -a -G docker cloud_user
