Issue with Docker Engine installation

General

Hi, I’m following the steps for installing Docker as outlined here
https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/ ,
I’m using Ubuntu 18.04, and at the step after I install the repository
and run apt update, I get an error that prevents me from following the next step. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for your help.

Ha! I just created a ticket right before you. Same setup and same issue. I can’t seem to identify the fix, although it seems to be on the repo owners end.

Same - there is a problem with the debian packages files on download.docker.com

same issue here with the command
sudo add-apt-repository
“deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
$(lsb_release -cs)
stable”

Seems like it’s still on-going judging by @bensherman’s link to the github issue. Fingers crossed for something soon.

It’s usually a good idea to check https://status.docker.com/
We recently posted an incident regarding these repos. Have a look at the incident history for more information

https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/830 seems most people are reporting resolved! @tahasolutions @jonzivkus mirrors may need propagation but I personally just got it going on my machine!

I am still seeing this on Ubuntu 20.04 can anybody help me on this if possible?
