    $  sudo apt-get install \
       apt-transport-https \
       ca-certificates \
       curl \
       gnupg \
       lsb-release
    $  curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
    $  echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
       $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
    $  sudo apt update
    $  sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
    $  docker run hello-world   # For testing

CASE 1: If you have permissions errors, such as:

docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/create: dial unix /va r/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.

You could add your $USER as part of the docker group, and re-login or restart ubuntu if need it :(

    $  sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
    $  groups
    $  newgrp docker    # To login as part of docker group and to avoid restart. Temporal solution.
    $  docker run hello-world   # For testing
