Just trying to install... that's all

Docker Engine General
1

Started here:
(I had to remove t5his link because apparently I’m not allowed to include more than two ‘links’ in a post. Why should asking for help be any easier than installing,.)

and ran through the ‘Step 1’ as instructed here:

and it fails noting:

E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/debian noble Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Any ides what I do about this?

There are many spammers daily. Theese rules help everyone not to be flooded by spam links until we can moderate, but once the system trusts you, you can share mor elinks. In this case, two links would have been enough if you used code blocks that is recommended on every technical forum, including GitHub. You can use markdown. I edited your post so the URL in the shared error message is not interpreted as clickable link.

The error message reminds me another topic where the problem was using an old image based on an old Debian version so the repositories were not available. Your Debian is not old, but I still have to ask, did you also see HTTP 404 errors when running “apt update”? I don’t think so, because the other issue I remember happened with main OS repositories, not with Docker’s repo.

Another problem that happened recently, but with Docker’s repository is that the repo was possibly being synced at tha moment. Maybe you have something similar and the Release file was not available temporarily. The previous issue solved itself in a couple of hours, probbaly in minutes after the user tried.

IF that happens too quickly, that is worth an investigation and we can report it to Docker.

Cany ou try again and maybe show a the full output of the apt update if it is still not working?

Please, use code block for the shared logs like:

```
log here
```

So three backticks and a linebreak before and after the shared text. More help here: https://forums.docker.com/t/how-to-format-your-forum-posts/127295#p-202628-dockerfiles-compose-files-logs-and-code-4

update:

I also moved the topic from Docker Desktop to the Docker Engine category. I realized that could be a mistake if you are trying to install Docker Desktop and the first, removed link was pointing to that. But we can handle it later when it becomes relevant.

I literally tried to run this, as instructed in the doc, Install Docker Engine on Debian | Docker Docs , and it failed:

Set up Docker’s apt repository.

# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.sources <<EOF
Types: deb
URIs: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian
Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")
Components: stable
Architectures: $(dpkg --print-architecture)
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
EOF

sudo apt update

Again, the first link was to their ‘how to install’ doc, and it said to first ‘do step one’ on this doc listed above and it gives the error.

Ultimately I realized I didn’t need docker, I needed codeproject ai, so I installed that using other means in about 15 minutes.

Thanks for your response though.
