I wonder why Docker and Debian/Ubuntu don't put their efforts together and start providing ONE package to us users ❓

Debian/ubuntu (docker.io package)

• ease of installation: just apt install docker.io and you are done (but you get an older version)

Docker Team (docker-ce package)

• latest and most up to date version with all the goodies (but inconvenient installation procedure)

Why not give us users some LOVE ❓ and

• provide the latest hot shhh with all the goodies with a simple apt install docker
• stop confusion about docker.io vs docker-ce
• use your valuable time saved from maintaining two packages to
  • spend more time with family & friends
  • do more sports
  • have more sex
  • etc. etc.

Is it possible to pack Docker into a flatpak? That way, we don't have to badger the devs for an updated version every time Ubuntu releases a new version.

[behrangsa]

Ubuntu releases come with multiple prereleases. IMHO Docker guys should not wait for the final version of an Ubuntu release and then start thinking about releasing Docker for it. In theory it is possible to release Docker for a new version of Ubuntu as soon as it becomes available.

If only Ubuntu kept to an extremely regimented and predictable release cycle

[MycroftHolmes1989]

I think the easier way would be to put the entire project in OpenSUSE Build Services. It really is useful when it comes to targetting multiple distros and multiple releases.

Hey guys,
I'm curious, Isn't the docker snap another viable solution?
Isn't it a good replacement for package management and also in a cross-distribution way?
Although, I know it has the limitation of using Dockerfile inside $HOME directory.

Not everyone is comfortable using snaps. I, for one, hate snaps. Flatpaks are a much cleaner solution, apart from PPA's.

I also think Snappy is not ready for general use yet.

I like snap packages but it's not applicable for all cases. For example VS Code for using remote developing via Docker required only docker by deb and not working with docker by snap

[joaonsantos]

Is there an ETA to complete this issue?

[MycroftHolmes1989]

As far as I can tell, no. I have moved to using Podman. Docker doesn't have support for either Ubuntu 19.10 or Fedora 31. That is a deal-breaker for me.

FWIW I've been using the 19.04 package without issues on 19.10. I installed following the directions here and replacing lsb_release -cs with disco

That works but it is hacky. Ubuntu has 6 monthly release cycles and Docker support for new Ubuntu versions happens on the 4th or 5th month of the cycle. By the time everything is working a-okay, a new version of Ubuntu is released and we have to wait another 4-5 months for that release to be officially supported by Docker.

At least an explanation by the Docker team on what is blocking them to release a new version of Docker as soon as a new version of Ubuntu is released would be very welcome. CC: @zelahi @joeabbey
