You can install Docker Engine in different ways, depending on your needs:

• • You can set up Docker’s repositories and install from them, for ease of installation and upgrade tasks. This is the recommended approach.
  • Before you install Docker Engine for the first time on a new host machine, you need to set up the Docker repository.sudo dnf

    config-manager addrepo --from-repofile https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo

  • Install Docker

  • sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

  • Start Docker Engine.

     sudo systemctl enable --now docker

Verify that the installation is successful by running the hello-world image:

 sudo docker run hello-world
