How to Install Docker on Ubuntu 20.04
Docker is an open source software for creating and managing containers that contain the runtime environment for a single application and include everything it needs to run. Docker is widely used in the process of continuous development, testing, and deployment of software, i.e. DevOps.
In the Serverspace you can create a server with already installed app "Docker".

sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.ioAt this point, the installation is complete. Now let's consider some settings and run a test container.
Privileges for Docker
To manage Docker and run commands in it, the user must have sudo privileges. If you want to grant sudo rights in Docker to another user, add him to the docker group. But be careful! Users of this group can get root access on the Docker host. Enter this command and replace user with the required username.
