Learn how to – Install Docker CE on Fedora 38/37/36/35/34/33.

Welcome to our guide on how to install Docker CE on Fedora 38/37/36/35/34/33 Linux distribution. The release of Docker we’ll install is Docker Community Edition (CE). Docker is a leading container runtime engine that allows you to package your applications with all of its dependencies into a standardized unit for software development.

Follow the steps below to install Docker CE on Fedora 38/37/36/35/34/33 Linux system.

Step 1: Update your system

Before we install Docker on Fedora Linux machine, we’ll start our installations by updating and upgrading OS packages. On Fedora, this can be easily done by running the command:

sudo dnf -y update

It is recommended to reboot your system after an upgrade

sudo reboot

Step 2: Add Docker CE repository

After upgrading system packages and rebooting the server, proceed to add Fedora repository to your system:

sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
