I need help installing docker

Ask Fedora

I added the repo for docker-ce then went to install it and I get a conflict error message. When I go to remove moby-engine it says it is not installed. How do I install the official docker-ce package? Error message:

sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker docker-compose-plugin

On redhat/fedora you can use podman as a replacement for docker.
Podman was written because of problem using docker on redhat/fedora.

4

Added docker

5

Didn’t work. Still same message.

6

Doesn’t Fordora recommend moby?

8

It isn’t installed.

9

Carefully follow the official Docker instruction:
Install Docker Engine on Fedora | Docker Docs

Or use this way:

sudo dnf --allowerasing install \
    docker-ce docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
10

And it doesn’t for me.

sudo dnf --allowerasing install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker docker-compose-plugin

You are exceptional. It worked. Come on though, I followed the official Docker install instructions. What is wrong with Linux?

16

Why does everything have to go through Fedora. Is this distribution different from others?

17

No it wasn’t. I followed it line by line.

 sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
18

Your opening post contains this line:

I have highlighted the cause of the problem with bold font.

19

Right which is what they said to do. I copy/pasted but you said it wasn’t the one used. So you are wrong.

20

Docker has a history of poor support for systemd based systems.

If you can use podman then I recommend that you do as its has first class support in Fedora.

21

What about moby?

22

I’m not a docker expert, but with my limited use of containers I could do everything with podman projects tools. Build a container, specialise a container, run a container.

23

Nice and thanks for your help. I installed the official docker package thanks to Vladislav and will let you know how it turns out.
