Command for upgrading docker

Question

Now my docker version is 0.9.0. I want to upgrade it to latest version due to some error

occuring with current version. so please suggest the apt command for this.

Answer 1

This should work in any Debian based distribution (Ubuntu, Linuxmint, etc)

Check current version

$ docker -v
Docker version 1.3.2, build 39fa2fa

Check installed packages in the system

# dpkg -l | grep docker
ii  lxc-docker                                   1.3.2                           amd64        Linux container runtime
ii  lxc-docker-1.3.2                             1.3.2                           amd64        Linux container runtime

Remove those packages

# apt-get remove --purge lxc-docker lxc-docker-1.3.2

Install new packages using Docker's preferred logic

# curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Add you user to the docker group

# sudo usermod -aG docker my_user

Confirm latest version

# docker --version
Docker version 1.6.2, build 7c8fca2
