4 - Docker Install

Docker - Container-runner

Docker compartmentalizes packages into containers. Giving you more control or better security, or something. Honestly I did it because the guide told me to, and there didn’t seem to be an obvious way to directly install Frigate.

• Add Docker’s official GPG key:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
echo list all done

• Add the repository to Apt sources:

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

• To install the latest Docker version, run:

sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

• Verify that the installation is successful by running the hello-world image:

sudo docker run hello-world

• Create the docker group.

sudo groupadd docker

• Add your user to the docker group.

sudo usermod -aG docker jedi

• Run the following command to activate the changes to groups:

newgrp docker

• Verify that you can run docker commands without sudo.

docker run hello-world

• Configure Docker to start on boot with systemd

sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl enable containerd.service
