Check the Docker^® installation

Docker^® has already been installed as part of the requirements via the docker.io package. Next, check to see if Docker^® is running correctly.

Use the following command to test whether Docker^® is running correctly on the system:

sudo systemctl status docker

This command displays the current status. If Docker^® is running correctly, the status should be active (running).

In addition, you can start a simple Docker^® container to check whether Docker^® works. To do this, execute the following command:

sudo docker run hello-world

This command downloads the hello-world image from Docker^® Hub and starts a container. If Docker^® is installed correctly, a corresponding message is displayed.
