• Troubleshooting

Ubuntu

1. Update the Package Index:

   sudo apt-get update

2. Install Required Packages:

4. Set Up the Docker Repository:

   echo \
     "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
     $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

5. Install Docker Engine:

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

3. Add Your User to the Docker Group:

   sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

4. Verify the Installation:

   docker run hello-world

Debian

Alpine Linux

1. Update the Package Index:

   sudo apk update

2. Install Docker:

   sudo apk add docker

3. Start the Docker Daemon:

   sudo service docker start

4. Add Your User to the Docker Group:

   sudo addgroup $USER docker

5. Verify the Installation:

   docker run hello-world

Post-Installation Steps

After installing Docker, you may want to configure Docker to start on boot:

sudo systemctl enable docker

To check the status of Docker:

sudo systemctl status docker

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, ensure that:

• Your system meets the prerequisites.

• You have followed each step correctly.

• You have a stable internet connection during the installation process.

As soon as the docker engine is up and running, you can go back to "Add Device" and continue with insalling the Agent on the device.
