Docker for Microsoft Azure Ubuntu Linux VM

Hi Guys! Welcome to DevOps Hunter full of technical bytes for cloud computing and DevOps Engineers.  In this post, I would like to share my experiment with Azure cloud launching Ubuntu VM to work on Docker-CE installation. The docker documentation provides the simplified convenient script for almost every Linux platform where all the steps are described there or in our previous blog post are included in it.

Get started Docker for Azure on Ubuntu Linux

Step 1 : Login your Azure Cloud account.
Step 2 : Get the connection details of Ubuntu16.04 VM
             Open the GitBash or Git CMD to run the following :

             ssh viswasri@23.1101.16.242 # Try with your VM here 
            

Step 3 : Validate is there any docker installed version

              sudo docker version
            

Step 4 : Use the Convenient way of installation that isusing scripted way.

              curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
                             ls -l #tto check script file
                             sudo sh get-docker.sh # installing docker

Step 5: Now Docker is all set and again we need to validate again to check version that shows everything without fail.
sudo docker version Step 6: Let's run a docker container for fun.

sudo docker run kouzikaile/walesay cowsay Viswasri-DevOpsExpert
