How to install Docker on Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark


Solution

Open your sources.list file as admin.

sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list

Find these two lines:

deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu artful stable# deb-src [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu artful stable

And change the word artful to zesty in both lines. After the change, they should look like:

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

Problem fixed, now install Docker CE with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install docker-ce

Explanation

Th problem is that as of this writing, a release file for Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark is not available on Download Docker. Therefore, you have to use the release file for Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) instead.


Ubuntu 17.10 is now supported in the edge release, so you can use

deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu artful edge

as well.
