Install particular version of docker

General Discussions

I want to install a particular version (1.9) of docker on my ubuntu os. However, when I try to follow the installation doc here https://docs.docker.com/v1.9/engine/installation/ubuntulinux/, it always installs the latest version which is 1.11.1 now.

Is there a way to install a particular version ? Any document on this ?

Appreciate help, thanks.

I get this error when trying with 1.9.0 (after reading some forums)

sudo apt-get install docker-engine=1.9.0~wily
Reading package lists... Done

E: Version '1.9.0~wily' for 'docker-engine' was not found

Hi,

Did you create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list with the the following entry?

deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-wily main

After doing this, don’t forget to sudo apt-get update.

Then to list all possible versions of a particular packages, use apt-cache policy

root@25c6b167bd36:/# apt-cache policy docker
docker:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.5-1
  Version table:

From the above list, install the required version. If you are not getting the above list, that means skipped either of the first steps.

OK got it, thanks.

Is there any official doc on how to install a particular version rather than searching the web ? Docker must document this.
