Docker.github.io: Installation not working on Ubuntu 19.10

Created on 4 Jun 2019 · 26Comments · Source: docker/docker.github.io

I've tried to install Docker on Ubuntu 19.04. I followed the directions, but I get the following errors:

# apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package docker-ce-cli

apt update works correctly:

# apt update

In the meantime you can try installing the package for Ubuntu 19.04 on Ubuntu 19.10 (which likely will work, but not tested), and I'll have a look if it can be added to the nightly builds.

Jep, got hello-world running correctly on Ubuntu 19.10 (eoan) with the disco repo using:

 sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   disco \
   stable"

Thanks!

Ubuntu 19.04 is not yet in the list of supported distros for Docker 18.09, but will be coming with Docker 19.03 (beta/release-candidates are available in the "test" channel)

Closing this issue because of the above, but feel free to continue the conversation

@thaJeztah Docker 19.03 has been released, but the installation instructions still yields an error:

@ruurtjan the original issue reported above was on Ubuntu 19.04 (although I see the title said "19.10"). Packages are available for ubuntu 19.04 "disco" now, but 19.10 not yet; I think it was released Yesterday; most likely will come with the next Docker release (but that's still some time out).

In the meantime you can try installing the package for Ubuntu 19.04 on Ubuntu 19.10 (which likely will work, but not tested), and I'll have a look if it can be added to the nightly builds.

You can install 19.04 and then docker, then update to 19.10

I managed to get the latest release of Docker running on my Kubuntu 19.10 install just by going to snapcraft.io and installing the snap. That easy.

I managed to get the latest release of Docker running on my Kubuntu 19.10 install just by going to snapcraft.io and installing the snap. That easy.

Easy but performance will suffer. Snap packages start up a bit slower. Source (page 2 with Chromium browser as an example).

There should be a way to install the right version that works on 19.10..

I tried installing via Snap, also does not work!

Nvm got it working. Seems like I had not installed some new os updates. After getting those, rebooting and reinstalling, it installed without any hiccups

2absolutes on 8 Apr 2020

Worked for me with
sudo snap install docker

DmytroRybka on 13 Apr 2020

The snap packages won't install the official packages, and I've seen some issues reported when running those, so I would not currently recommend running those.

Packages for ubuntu 19.10 should be available now on download.docker.com, so installation should work. Note though that 19.10 is not an LTS release, so once 19.10 reaches EOL, no new packages will be published.
