I've installed Ubuntu 17.04 (VirtualBox). But since I have Ubuntu 17.04, it seems like docker is not yet available for Ubuntu 17.04. Is there any workaround to install Docker on Ubuntu 17.04?

This is my commande line history:

 2  curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.10.0/docker-machine-`uname -s`-`uname -m` >/tmp/docker-machine &&   chmod +x /tmp/docker-machine &&   sudo cp /tmp/docker-machine /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
 3  docker-machine version
 4  docker pull ubuntu:latest
 5  sudo apt-get update
 6  sudo apt-get install     linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)     linux-image-extra-virtual
 7  sudo apt-get install     apt-transport-https     ca-certificates     curl     software-properties-common
 8  sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
 9  sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
10  lsb_release -cs
11  sudo add-apt-repository    "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
12  sudo apt-get update
13  sudo apt-get install docker-ce -y

This is the actual error:

  • as of mid-2017, docker-ce 17.06 is available for Ubuntu 17.04 (it was released June 2017, and hence is version 17.06) -- just follow steps here: docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu (and get docker-compose from pip (eg, sudo -H pip3 install docker-compose) and not from ubuntu repos, which are out-of-date.

Docker hasn't setup a repository for the latest ubuntu, but that's an easy fix because their release for ubuntu 16 is compatible. For the time being, just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and on the line:

deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu zesty stable

Replace zesty by xenial. Run sudo apt-get update and you can proceed with sudo apt-get install docker-ce

  • This answer is now out of date, but it didn't work for me, probably due to version mismatches (esp. docker-compose). But it's a moot point now that docker.com (not the ubuntu repos) has a docker-ce release 17.06 for Ubuntu 17.04. (These versions are a little confusing: docker-ce released in June of 2017 is v17.06). If installing docker-ce from docker.com, then docker-compose will have to be installed from docker-compose's git release, or via sudo -H pip install docker-compose, and not from ubuntu repos, which are now useless for docker related stuff (as of mid-2017).

Just a quick note: Currently to install docker-ce on ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) you need to be on the edge channel: see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/32423#issuecomment-300164496

Therefore you need to add deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu zesty edge to your sources.

The information in this thready is outdated and can result in malfunctioning docker installation; ubuntu zesty is now supported, and packages are available; see the installation manual: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

Uninstall old versions

Older versions of Docker were called docker or docker-engine. If these are installed, uninstall them:

$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io

Automated Installation

If you want all the installation steps to be done "automatically", you can also use the installation script at https://get.docker.com/

Install Using the Repository

Update the apt package index:

$ sudo apt-get update

Install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

$ sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    software-properties-common

Add Docker’s official GPG key:

$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Verify that the key fingerprint is 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88.

$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

pub   4096R/0EBFCD88 2017-02-22
      Key fingerprint = 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A  E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid                  Docker Release (CE deb) <[email protected]>
sub   4096R/F273FCD8 2017-02-22

Use the following command to set up the stable repository (for the amd64 architecture):

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

INSTALL DOCKER CE

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce

Thanks Sebastiaan van Stijn for helping me with this.

There is no official support of docker in Ubuntu 17.04 yet. An alternative is to download and install the binary of docker from https://github.com/moby/moby/releases.

For example if you want to install docker version 17.04.0-ce from binary, follow these steps:

$ wget https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-17.04.0-ce.tgz
$ tar xzvf docker-17.04.0-ce.tgz
$ cd docker

This docker directory contains all the binaries. You need to add this directory to your PATH. You will need to manually start dockerd first. This page contains more details about how to install and run docker from a binary.

    You can also just use the xenial repository, see my answer

  • Be aware that the get.docker.com packages are outdated, and that the .tgz archives contain statically linked binaries, which may not be what you want. Docker now has packages available for Ubuntu zesty; see docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu. The installation script at get.docker.com is still up to date though, so running that will install the correct packages

I finally managed to make it work. Here's the solution that works for me:

  1. Use the solution proposed by Ravexina:

    sudo apt install docker.io

  2. Then use this :

    sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker

  3. Finally, reboot my system

Voilà ... it works perfect.

    This will install the rather old version (currently 1.12.6-0ubuntu4) from the standard Ubuntu repository. If you follow the solution by @Georgi-Goranov, you will get the latest version (currently 17.05.0~ce-0~ubuntu-zesty).
