Adding this for reference for others because it would have saved me 10 minutes if such an answer existed.
I tried installing Docker using ubuntu 14.0LTS virtua
SET UP THE REPOSITORY
For Ubuntu 14.04/16.04/16.10/17.04:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] \
https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
For Ubuntu 17.10:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu zesty stable"
Add Docker’s official GPG key:
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Then install
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install docker-ce
IMPORTANT - on ubuntu package docker
is something entirely different ( avoid it ) :
issue following to view what if any packages you have mentioning docker
dpkg -l|grep docker
if only match is following then you do NOT have docker installed below is an unrelated package
docker - System tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications
if you see something similar to following then you have docker installed
dpkg -l|grep docker
ii docker-ce 5:19.03.13~3-0~ubuntu-focal amd64 Docker: the open-source application container engine
ii docker-ce-cli 5:19.03.13~3-0~ubuntu-focal amd64 Docker CLI: the open-source application container engine
NOTE - ubuntu package docker.io
is not getting updates ( obsolete do NOT use )
Instead do this : install the latest version of docker on linux by executing the following:
sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
# sudo curl -sSL https://test.docker.com | sh # get dev pipeline version
here is a typical output ( ubuntu 16.04 )
apparmor is enabled in the kernel and apparmor utils were already installed

If you would like to use Docker as a non-root user, you should now consider
adding your user to the "docker" group with something like:
sudo usermod -aG docker stens
Remember that you will have to log out and back in for this to take effect!
Here is the underlying detailed install instructions which as you can see comes bundled into above technique ... Above one liner gives you same as :
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/
Once installed you can see what docker packages were installed by issuing
dpkg -l|grep docker
ii docker-ce 5:19.03.13~3-0~ubuntu-focal amd64 Docker: the open-source application container engine
ii docker-ce-cli 5:19.03.13~3-0~ubuntu-focal amd64 Docker CLI: the open-source application container engine
now Docker updates will get installed going forward when you issue
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
take a look at
ls -latr /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*docker*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 202 Jun 23 10:01 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list.save
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71 Jul 4 11:32 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-xenial main
or more generally
cd /etc/apt
grep -r docker *
sources.list.d/docker.list:deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal test
sudo apt-get install docker # DO NOT do this
is a different library on ubuntu.
Use sudo apt-get install docker-ce
to install the correct docker.
The Ubuntu package docker
actually refers to a GUI application, not the beloved DevOps tool we've come out to look for.
The instructions for docker can be followed per instructions on the docker page here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
=== UPDATED (thanks @Scott Stensland) ===
You now run the following install script to get docker:
`sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh`
This will run a script that installs docker. Note the last part of the script:
If you would like to use Docker as a non-root user, you should now consider
adding your user to the "docker" group with something like:
`sudo usermod -aG docker stens`
Remember that you will have to log out and back in for this to take effect!
To update Docker run:
`sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade`
For more details on what's going on, See the docker install documentation or @Scott Stensland's answer below
.
=== UPDATE: For those uncomfortable w/ sudo | sh ===
Some in the comments have mentioned that it a risk to run an arbitrary script as sudo. The above option is a convenience script from docker to make the task simple. However, for those that are security-focused but don't want to read the script you can do the following:
sudo apt-get update; \
sudo apt-get install \
apt-transport-https \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg-agent \
software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

)
sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
sudo apt-get update; \
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
If you want to verify that it worked run:
sudo docker run hello-world
The following explains why it is named like this: Why install docker on ubuntu should be `sudo apt-get install docker.io`?
