Before installing Docker on the production system, we first need to install some prerequisites:

$ sudo apt-get install dmsetup && dmsetup mknodes

Now, we can issue the following command to install Docker:

$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce

To verify that Docker has been installed properly on the production system, you may issue the following command:

$ docker --version
Docker version 17.09.0-ce, build afdb6d4

You should see the version of Docker installed after running the command.
