Is Docker available?

[gounthar]

Hello there,

I recently gained remote access to a Banana Pi F3 to test it, and everything went smoothly.
The board was running Bianbu Linux, and I was able to install and use Docker without issues.
 

Now, I'm considering purchasing the board and was wondering if the Armbian image would also support running Docker.
Do you have any insights on this?

Thanks!

Thank you so much. 🤗
Let's buy the board, then.

I tried to install docker via 

armbian-config --CON02

on Trixie but I got quite a lot of errors during the installation.
Here is the board information if it ever can help: https://paste.armbian.com/xozimixeqi .

Thanks.

Here some troubles are expected ... Can you try manual steps to install docker by follow:

https://github.com/armbian/configng/blob/main/tools/modules/software/module_docker.sh#L26-L56

installing packages, adding to group, adding docker bridge.

 

This might reveal more.

 

BTW. My F3 died - waiting for replacement.

Thanks a lot for your help, Igor.
That did not make the trick, as the available packages are still in the old form (docker.io instead of docker-ce for example.
Nonetheless, I now have a working (but old) docker binary, which is enough for my use case.
Now, I will try to build a more recent docker binary.

The next problem to solve will be to get the NVMe to work.

I'm sorry your F3 died.
