I've installed docker several times before on Ubuntu. Not sure why this isn't working now. There seems to be a release for eoan now. My output is below.

  • @N0rbert thank you, but it does not. There is an eoan available now, and also I tried disco and it didn't work either.

  • @N0rbert, apologies, i see now there wasn't an eoan stable. I did try disco and it didn't work for me, but I see now that it probably should have and I did something wrong.

First, In official documentation, there is no mention of eoan dist as of yet.
Second there is no stable version of docker available for eoan distribution as per my investigation (Distribution Repositories).

So here is what you can try:

From Official Documentation:

  1. Use the following command to set up the stable repository. To add the nightly or test repository, add the word nightly or test (or both) after the word stable in the commands below. Learn about nightly and test channels.

Hence, use the nightly channel instead of stable

$ sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable nightly"

Good Luck!

    Thanks! Would test be more stable than nightly? Not sure why changing to disco didn't work for me.

  • According to doc, test branch is to test year.month release builds and nighty provides daily builds. you can choose accordingly. 2. Selecting disco should work. I suggest delete eoan repo first and try all over again and then at add-apt-repo... command using disco instead of` lsb_release -cs` variable.

  • And I would suggest you should investigate before using a docker version for older dist in a new dist, specially if you are using docker in production.
