# Install Docker on Ubuntu 24.04 – Compose, Permissions, Firewall

Docker Engine + Compose on Ubuntu 24.04 VPS: official repo, docker group, UFW, don’t run root Compose in prod blindly.

**Quick answer:** Official Docker repo on the VPS, test `docker compose version`, think about socket rights, don’t publish raw ports to the internet.
