According to docker website, installation for Fedora should be as follow: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/fedora/#set-up-the-repository
However these instruction does not work for Fedora, and you get a frustrating message "Nothing to be done"
So how can I install Docker-ce on Fedora 28
231
Docker CE is a free and open source containerization platform. It is a rebranded version of the Docker open source solution that has been freely available since the launch of Docker in 2013. CE can run on Windows 10 and Mac, on Azure and AWS, as well as CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu.
For me, if you are setting up a dedicated machine for running containers, go with docker-ce . While if you only run an occasional container, don't follow what Docker Inc. is doing upstream, and use the machine for a lot of other tasks, using docker.io can simplify your workflows.
From fedora 28 only the edge, test and nightly version are available.
To install docker-ce edge you can enable the edge repo:
dnf config-manager --set-disabled docker-ce-stable
dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-edge
dnf install docker-ce
At the writing of this answer, the repo of Docker did not contain a stable version for Fedora 28 The work around is to call:
sudo dnf install https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/27/x86_64/stable/Packages/docker-ce-18.03.1.ce-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm
This will download the latest stable version at the writing of these lines. Hope Docker will set a repo for Fedora 28 soon
