The installation instructions go up to Xenial... https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/ . Any idea how to install it on Yakkety?

Just run : sudo apt-get install docker.io and you're good to go.

Answer 2

I have managed to run docker on Ubuntu 16.10 as follows:

1.Update apt and install required certificates $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates 2. Add the GPG key to apt
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D 3. Add the docker repo to the apt list echo "deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list 4. Update apt sudo apt-get update 5. Check that the repo contains the docker installers

  $ apt-cache policy docker-engine

  docker-engine:
    Installed: 1.12.2-0~trusty
    Candidate: 1.12.2-0~trusty
    Version table:
   *** 1.12.2-0~trusty 0
          500 https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo/ ubuntu-trusty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1.12.1-0~trusty 0
          500 https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo/ ubuntu-trusty/main amd64 Packages
       1.12.0-0~trusty 0
          500 https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo/ ubuntu-trusty/main amd64 Packages

6. Install the docker engine

$ sudo apt-get install docker-engine

7.Start the docker daemon.

$ sudo service docker start

8. Verify that docker is installed correctly by running the hello-world image.

$ sudo docker run hello-world
