Unable to install docker on armbian Orange Pi Zero 3

[svarog]

Hi, I am new here so please apologize if I am asking already asked question, but I couldn't find the solution.

I am trying to install docker on my orange pi zero 3 which is running Armbian (24.2.0-trunk.519) aarch64, kernel version 6.6.15-current-sunxi64.

I have found this post, but I was not able to install docker because I found 2 problem that I don't know how to solve.

1. Installing docker using armbian-config does not work.

I install armbian-config, run it as su/sudo, choose docker and install. The installer does something and after it's done it returns me to the same screen where I have chosen docker to be installed. So, no confirmation that I have installed the software, even star is omitted near docker(if you know what I mean).

 

2. Following the instructions from docker page, I follow every single step, but when it comes to the command
 

svarog@orangepizero3:~$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package docker-ce-cli is not available, but is referred to by another package.

E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'docker-ce-cli' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package containerd.io
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'containerd.io'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'containerd.io'
E: Unable to locate package docker-buildx-plugin
E: Unable to locate package docker-compose-plugin

this is the response that I get.

Maybe I am missing something or I am total noob, but I am pretty sure that the installer is done correctly(I mean the documentation) and the only thing that could be wrong is me...

Can you please help me to figure out why I cannot install docker and what am I doing wrong in the process?

thanks

I would suggest you read some of the other threads on the orange pi zero 3 in this forum.  This board is very new and under active work.  But don't expect everything to work yet.

Ah..I see whats going on here. The nightly images uses unreleased OS versions. Debian trixie is to be released next year, and Ubunu Noble will not be released for another 2 months. Hence docker doesn't have a repository for them yet as can be seen by going to - https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/dists/

 

Install docker.io package using apt instead of following the docker installation guide.

Just install docker from Debian/Ubuntu repo. Grabbing directly from docker is overrated imho unless you need very new features.
