Docker Setup on ParrotOS 6.3

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through a foolproof, up-to-date method for getting Docker up and running on the latest release of Parrot OS (March, 2025).Because there’s no official release from Parrot OS (cmiiw), you need to install based on debian.

Step 1: Remove any Incorrect Docker Repository

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
sudo apt update

Step 2: Add Docker’s Official GPG Key

sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc > /dev/null
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

Step 3: Add the Correct Docker Repository

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Step 4: Update and Install Docker

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Step 5: Start and Enable Docker

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl status docker

Step 6: Verify the status of Docker

Now, try running:

docker run hello-world

You will receive an output similar to this:

Last but not least! Verify that Docker is installed and running correctly by checking its version:

docker --version

That’s it! You have successfully installed Docker on Parrot OS 6.3.
