Installing Docker on Pengwin without Docker Desktop

[avinashupadhya99]

Hello, I am trying to install docker on Pengwin without Docker Desktop. Is the process documented anywhere?

I would really appreciate any help with this. Thanks!

Hello @avinashupadhya99,

No. I'll assemble one and paste it here. Maybe then we can add this to pengwin-setup.

Regards,
Carlos

It worked as a charm thx a lot dude @crramirez

[sharpninja]

Can this be added to pengwin-setup

[crramirez]

It is a lot of work making it right. But as you asked for it you raised it's priority. So, yes it will be added to pengwin-setup, I hope this year

[mikkop71]

Any news on the schedule?

[crramirez]

We are working on that, but still we don't have a release date
