The container tools installer and updater

(Partial) deprecation notice

docker-setup is in the process of being renamed to uniget. The following table will document the progress:

Component	Migration status	Support status	Notes
CLI	Completed	docker-setup will only receive security updates	uniget is a drop-in replacement with data migration
GitHub Action	Completed	docker-setup-action will only receive security updates	uniget-action is a dop-in replacement using uniget
Tools	In progress	docker-setup tools are fully supported	uniget tools being created
Documentation	Not started	docker-setup documentation is fully supported	-
Site	Not started	docker-setup site is fully supported	-

While the migration is in progress, the components from both projects will interoperate until the migration is complete.

Purpose

docker-setup is inspired by the convenience script to install the Docker daemon. But the scope is much larger.

docker-setup is meant to bootstrap a new box with Docker as well as install useful tools from the container ecosystem and beyond. It can also be used to update these tools. It aims to be distribution-agnostic and provide reasonable default configurations. Personally, I am using it to prepare virtual machines for my own experiments as well as training environments.

Tools are downloaded, installed and updated automatically.

Quickstart

Download and run docker-setup:

curl -sLf https://github.com/nicholasdille/docker-setup/releases/latest/download/docker-setup_linux_$(uname -m).tar.gz | \
sudo tar -xzC /usr/local/bin docker-setup
