Installing docker-ce on Fedora 28

Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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
