Steps To Install Docker on Fedora 29

In this article, we will learn how to install Docker on Fedora 29.

Docker is a set of platform as a service products that uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Docker simplifies and accelerates your workflow, while giving developers the freedom to innovate with their choice of tools, application stacks, and deployment environments for each project.

Containers are not new, but their use for easily deploying applications is.
