Install Docker

This is an Ansible role that helps you install Docker on an Ubuntu host and set it up for initial use. Here's what it does:

• Installs Docker
• Adds the SSH user to the Docker group
• Configures Docker options
• Logs in to a private Docker registry
• Installs the Docker Python library (docker-py)

You can find examples of how to create playbooks, configurations, and sample commands here.
