How to install Docker on Ubuntu 17.04

I've installed Ubuntu 17.04 (VirtualBox). But since I have Ubuntu 17.04, it seems like docker is not yet available for Ubuntu 17.04. Is there any workaround to install Docker on Ubuntu 17.04?

This is my commande line history:

 2  curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.10.0/docker-machine-`uname -s`-`uname -m` >/tmp/docker-machine &&   chmod +x /tmp/docker-machine &&   sudo cp /tmp/docker-machine /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
 3  docker-machine version
 4  docker pull ubuntu:latest
 5  sudo apt-get update
 6  sudo apt-get install     linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)     linux-image-extra-virtual
 7  sudo apt-get install     apt-transport-https     ca-certificates     curl     software-properties-common
 8  sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
 9  sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
10  lsb_release -cs
11  sudo add-apt-repository    "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
12  sudo apt-get update
13  sudo apt-get install docker-ce -y

This is the actual error:

user@user-vm:~$ sudo apt-get update

tutorial I was following


Solution 1:

Docker hasn't setup a repository for the latest ubuntu, but that's an easy fix because their release for ubuntu 16 is compatible. For the time being, just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and on the line:

deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu zesty stable

Replace zesty by xenial. Run sudo apt-get update and you can proceed with sudo apt-get install docker-ce

Solution 2:

Just a quick note: Currently to install docker-ce on ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) you need to be on the edge channel: see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/32423#issuecomment-300164496

Therefore you need to add deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu zesty edge to your sources.
