I am following the official Docker documentation here, but a few of you pointed out that they have problems with it, so I try to break it down.Īfter adding Docker to APT, we need to update apt once more so we will be able to install Docker on Kali Linux: If all went well, you should see something similar like below: echo 'deb buster stable' | sudo tee /etc/apt//docker.list Next, we configure APT so we will be able to download, install and update Docker. Then we need to add the official Docker PGP key like so: curl -fsSL | sudo apt-key add. Let’s first install Docker on Kali Linux and then I am going to show you an example. (Except, of course, the only thing is that you need to install Docker on Kali Linux). I have recently seen a trend that more and more Git Repositories are offering a pre-configured Docker file that you just need download and run, without the need of installing anything at all. The classic way of installing those tools was to git clone the repository and then using install scripts to locally install them in your /opt/ folder on Kali Linux. When you are working as a Pentester, you most likely won’t only be using the tools that are included with Kali Linux, but you are using a lot of different tools that you find on Github. This guide is fully compatible with the new non-root user per default that was introduced with Kali Linux 2020.1, learn more about this here. In this guide, I will show you how to install Docker on Kali Linux 2020.1 in the easiest possible way. Docker is a great way to run tools without the need for installing them from source.

Docker is becoming more and more popular with Hackers and Pentesters alike.
