Docker on Debian

This is exactly what Chomper's own Quick-install script suggests when it doesn't find Docker on a fresh Debian box — Docker's official convenience script, which sets up the real Docker repository and installs Docker Engine plus the Compose v2 plugin in one go.

Install

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

Start the daemon and enable it on boot:

sudo systemctl enable --now docker

Optional — run docker without sudo (log out and back in afterward for it to take effect):

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Verify

docker --versiondocker compose versionsudo docker run hello-world

If all three succeed, Docker is ready. Head back to Quick Start and run the install command from your Servers tab.

Prefer to install package-by-package by hand instead of a convenience script? See the official Docker docs for Debian.
