RPM Docker packages missing in Docker CE repo?

Support
1

Hi to the Docker community,

I have been running Docker on both deb and rpm Linux systems until recently when the rpm Linux had to be reinstalled. To do so, I came back to the Docker manuals on Dockercom to follow the installation steps.

However, it looks like that the different rpm repos (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS) don’t have Docker packages at the moment - or am I now missing something obvious ? :-/

Please find the kind of results that I get :

$ sudo dnf-3 config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
Adding repo from: https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo

$ sudo dnf update

$ sudo dnf info docker

$ sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerdio docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Anyone has the same issue or any thoughts on this ? Many thanks !

Since you didn’t share any exact os versions, and made it a more general question, the best answer I can give is: are you sure your os is still (or already) supported by docker?

Please see https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/#installation-procedures-for-supported-platforms, open the link for your distro, and check the OS requirements in the Prerequisites section.

Thanks very much for looking at this post ! :slight_smile:

Your message made me have a look again about support for RHEL 10 and RHEL-atives (Rocky, Alma, Oracle, Amazon & Co), and indeed RHEL is not there yet. But several tutorial have been presenting since June how to install and run Docker on Rocky 10, and it was exactly as on 9. That’s why it was a bit odd to see yesterday that it was, initially, even impossible for me to resolve download.docker.com (although other repos and internet in general worked) and then, no way to get Docker from RHEL, Fedora or CentOS repos :-/

However, having tried today before updating this post, I reinstalled the CentOS repo and….it worked perfectly from the first attempt ;-D. So I am a happy Docker user again, on a RHEL-10 relative :slight_smile:

Thanks again for responding and have a great day !
