Compose: Use docker apt-get repository for installation

Created on 3 Jul 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: docker/compose

Why don't you use the apt-get repository that docker already provides in order to release this? Why do I have to use a fragile, difficult, and manual curl+chmod process when docker already has a perfectly working apt-get repository to use?

This makes absolutely no sense.

Are you saying that in almost three years, you haven't had the resources necessary to add a package to a package manager? A task that takes 30 minutes?

Docker is a multi billion dollar company? Yet has no spare resources, or interns sitting around who can do something that should have been done from the get go?

Thats quite depressing.

Among other things:

  • Low priority task with no bandwidth to address it
  • Bundling with Docker Desktop means the only people likely to care are the minority who develop on Linux (that's not a critique, I'm part of that minority too, but this is the reality we're dealing with)

Cheers!
