sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get install docker-ce=5:18.09.0~3-0~ubuntu-bionic

note if you installed using the shell script @ get.docker.com you'll need to follow these instructions

Hello!

Docker release a new version, you can either downgrade to 18.09.0 or wait until Monday for Nvidia docker packages to come out.

@RenaudWasTaken you said "wait until Monday" it is now Tuesday and I don't see any new nvidia-docker releases. Will this issue be updated/closed when there is a release?

This is getting a bit frustrating every docker update with have this issue

[RenaudWasTaken]

Hello!

We're sorry this is taking a little bit longer than expected. We are currently running tests to make sure everything is working fine.

Automating the pipeline for releasing new packages is one of the reason this is taking a bit longer than planed.

In the meantime (and for every new docker release) you can always stay (or downgrade) on the 18.09.0 release as this is still working.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello!

We've released the packages a few hours ago :)
