Broken Fedora repository

Hello,

I have a Dockerfile recipe that stopped working overnight, when using the Fedora repository. It seems it has been updated two days ago and I can replicate the issue on all my machines. Do you know anything about it?

Here is the reproduceable Dockerfile:


$ cat << 'eol' > Dockerfile
FROM fedora:latest
RUN dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
RUN dnf config-manager \
          --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
RUN dnf install -y \
      docker-ce docker-ce-cli \
      containerd.io \
      docker-buildx-plugin \
      docker-compose-plugin
RUN bash --version \
 && aws --version
eol

Here is the building command:

$ time docker build -t docker-in-fedora:1 .

Going to Index of linux/fedora/, I can see the repository has been updated 2 days ago. That might be a hint since the timing matches perfectly.

Thank you,

You are using the latest tag and Fedora 38 came out recently. Always use a specific version for every image. Use ā€œlatestā€ only when you donā€™t care what version you have and just want to test something for a short time.

USe this FROM instruction:

FROM fedora:37

Docker is not supported on Fedora 38 yet.
