The official Docker installation script served at get.docker.com and test.docker.com, written in Shell. It provides a convenient way to quickly install the latest Docker-CE releases on supported Linux distributions.

Use cases

• install docker engine on a fresh linux server
• quickly bootstrap docker-ce on ubuntu or debian
• set up docker on a new vps with one command
• install latest docker release from the stable channel
• provision docker in a shell script during server setup
• install docker test channel builds for evaluation

When to choose

• you need a fast, one-command install of Docker-CE on a supported Linux distro
• you are setting up a dev machine or test environment and want the latest release
• you want the official script maintained by Docker, Inc. rather than distro packages

When to avoid

• you are deploying to production systems where the script is explicitly not recommended
• your distro requires the thorough official package-repository install instructions
• you need a specific pinned Docker version or channel not supported by the script
