Install Docker-compose onto Raspberry OS or Ubuntu

1. Get root rights with sudo:

2. Update your repositories and OS

host:$  sudo -s
Password:
host:#
host:# apt-get update
host:# apt-get upgrade

3. Add Docker repository

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg 

4. Install Docker Engine

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
host:# apt-get update
host:# apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin

5. Install Docker Compose

host:# apt-get update
host:# apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
host:# docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.5.0

Version v2.5.0 is relevant when the article is written.

Run following commands download the current stable release of Docker Compose:

host:# mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins
host:# curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.5.0/docker-compose-linux-aarch64 -o /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose

This example for Raspberry OS 64bit.
Hence, you have to get relevant release for your platform fromĀ  the Git repository

host:# chmod +x /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
host:# ln -s /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
host:#/usr/bin/docker-compose version
 Docker Compose version v2.5.0

Also, the following parameters must be added to first line to enable cgroud for docker compatibility if rasbperry pi is used:

cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1

vi cat /boot/cmdline.txt
