How to install Docker Engine on Debian without adding sources to apt or third party keys?

  • 772

The Docker Engine containerd runtime is open source and should be available through the main Debian repo, but all the guides I have found ask you to install a third party software sources and gpg keys, mainly Docker Inc's.

What's the process of natively installing Docker Engine on Debian?

To clarify, I do not want to add a third-party licensing and security liabilities to my apt sources.

    docker.io is the open source version of docker/containerd in the Debian sid repository.

    For just docker: sudo apt-get install docker.io

    If you need docker-compose, you can get it from the unstable repository or install it from git, it's just a few python scripts so it's easy to install from source.

    docker-compose https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose

    Source: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/docker.io
    Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64 and Ubuntu 21.10 arm64
