Docker 17.03 on raspberry pi zero W

I am trying to get docker v17.03.1 to run on raspberry pi zero W using the deb package here: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/dists/jessie/pool/stable/armhf/. However, the install always fails as follows:
invoke-rc.d: initscript docker, action “start” failed.
dpkg: error processing package docker-ce (–install):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Systemctl shows the following:
pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ systemctl status docker.service
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Thu 2017-06-01 13:14:44 UTC; 10s ago
Docs: https://docs.docker.com
Process: 5561 ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// (code=dumped, signal=ILL)
Main PID: 5561 (code=dumped, signal=ILL)

The install script at get.docker.com is able to install v17.05 perfectly. I am curious why my install fails.

I am running raspbian jessie on:
pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.9.24+ #993 Wed Apr 26 17:56:54 BST 2017 armv6l GNU/Linux

I haven’t experienced any problems following the official instructions.

TL;DR
Add docker repository to sources.list.d:

echo "deb [arch=armhf] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

Update & Install:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install docker-ce -y

Verify:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo docker version

I got a problem installing docker-ce on a fresh jessie desktop raspbian. It failed in dpkg for docker-ce. I found out that the sonic-pi package must be removed in order to get it work.
Maybe this hint help someone.

I’m also struggling to install docker-ce onto RPi zero W with Raspbian Stretch. Is there an updated (2019) guide for ARMv6 install onto RPi zero?

Thanks for any guidance.

BTW : The official instruction using script failed on two different RPi:-

● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Sun 2019-01-13 13:26:25 CET; 1min 7s ago
Docs: https://docs.docker.com
Process: 322 ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H unix:// (code=dumped, signal=SEGV)
Main PID: 322 (code=dumped, signal=SEGV)

Same problem for me, can not get Docker-ce working on Raspberry PI Zero - Raspbian Stretch, any suggestions?

I’ve tried to downgrade, but is still not working.

Thanks,

I haven’t tried with 17.03, but I can verify that 18.06.2-ce works, if that helps.

Note that 18.09.03 gives a segmentation fault on a pi zero W - more info here about pinning to 18.06.2-ce https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/38175#issuecomment-463164203
