It says your job is already running. Congratulations! docker has been successfully installed.

Step 5: Now just to verify that docker is successfully running, let me show you how to pull a CentOS image from docker hub and run the CentOS container. For that, just type in the below command:

sudo docker pull centos

First, it will check the local registry for CentOS image. If it doesn’t find there, then it will go to the docker hub and pull the image. Refer to the below screenshot for better understanding:

So we have successfully pulled a centOS image from docker hub. Next, let us run the CentOS container. For that, just type in the below command:


sudo docker run -it centos

Container - Install Docker - Edureka

As you can see in the above screenshot, we are now in the CentOS container!

So to summarize, We have first installed docker on Ubuntu, after that we have pulled a CentOS image from docker hub and using that image, we have successfully built a CentOS container. To know more about docker containers and how it works, you can refer this blog on Docker Container.

This is how you install docker and build a container on Ubuntu.
