How to install docker correctly in ubuntu 22.04 is it possible at this time?-CodePudding

I am following the docker installation tutorial in ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/linux/install/ubuntu/

And when I try this step: sudo apt install ./docker-desktop-4.8.1-amd64.deb I am getting the next error: E: Unsupported file ./docker-desktop-4.8.1-amd64.deb given on commandline

Not sure what that means or if I am missing something.

E: Unsupported file ./docker-desktop-4.8.1-amd64.deb given on commandline

I also tried with:

curl https://desktop-stage.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/74134/docker-desktop.deb --output docker-desktop.deb
sudo apt install ./docker-desktop.deb

And got the error:

E: Invalid archive signature
E: Internal error, could not locate member control.tar{.zst,.lz4,.gz,.xz,.bz2,.lzma,}
E: Could not read meta data from /home/rodolfo/docker-desktop.deb
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Any ideas?

Try moving the DEB file to HOME folder or Change the directory in terminal to the folder where the file is downloaded

According to official documentation, and the steps I followed to install docker in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Visit the following site https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
Scroll down until you find the Install using the convenience script section.
You will find the following commands:

$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

$ DRY_RUN=1 sh ./get-docker.sh

the first command will install a shell script with the all needed commands and the other will run this shell script.

You can test the installation by running these commands

$ sudo docker --version

$ sudo docker info

If it looks fine you, you now have docker in your machine.
Optional step is to download docker desktop for Ubuntu 22.04 https://docs.docker.com/desktop/linux/install/

MAKE SURE You already installed docker engine before installing docker desktop for Ubuntu
