A great way to get docker up and running easily would be to install it in an LXC.
Start by creating the LXC container normally
I'll be using debian-12-turnkey-core_18.1-1 as the base since it updates the linux packages for me, but you can use any template
Once you finish customizing the LXC, start it up and it should prompt you to login
After Logging in, you should see the turnkey configuration. I like to do Skip, Skip, Install
Once done, quit the configuration
now is a good time to install package updates
apt update
apt upgrade -y
Install dependencies and add docker's official GPG key
apt install ca-certificates curl
install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
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" | \
tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
apt-get update
Install Docker Packages:
apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
You should now have docker installed! You can check by running
docker info
