Updating the version of Docker on my primary machine

I noticed that the version of Docker that I am running a little behind the current stable version. I am thinking it is time to update.

After reading the 'Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu' page, I needed to make a few changes to my system.

My first step was to remove the source 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu disco stable' from sources. It was simple to follow the steps.

Ran the following commands

• sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
• This made sure that any older versions were removed from my computer.
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install \
      apt-transport-https \
      ca-certificates \
      curl \
      gnupg-agent \
      software-properties-common
• This allows apt to use a repository over HTTPS
• curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
• Added the Docker's GPG key
• sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
• Verifies that I have key with the correct fingerprint
• sudo add-apt-repository \
     "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
     $(lsb_release -cs) \
     stable"
• setup a the stable repository
  
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
• installed the latest version of Docker Engine and containerd
