I recently came across a strange issue while installing Docker on CentOS (version 8) machine.
Issue –
When I tried below options to install docker on my machine I got the same error every time.
Installation Commands Used
yum install -y -q docker-ce
or
yum install -y docker-ce.x86_64
or
yum install docker-ceError message received
Error:
Problem: package docker-ce-3:19.03.8-3.el7.x86_64 requires containerd.io >= 1.2.2-3, but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install the best candidate for the job
- package containerd.io-1.2.10-3.2.el7.x86_64 is excluded
- package containerd.io-1.2.13-3.1.el7.x86_64 is excluded
- package containerd.io-1.2.2-3.3.el7.x86_64 is excluded

- package containerd.io-1.2.4-3.1.el7.x86_64 is excluded
- package containerd.io-1.2.5-3.1.el7.x86_64 is excluded
- package containerd.io-1.2.6-3.3.el7.x86_64 is excludedResolution –
To resolve this issue, first we need to manually install the containerd.io package.
[root@test_centos8 /]# yum install -y https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/7/x86_64/stable/Packages/containerd.io-1.2.6-3.3.el7.x86_64.rpm

The solution of downloading containerd.io from CentOS 7 first works but one why is the download from centos/7 rather than centos/8? Won’t this invite issues down the line?

I think there’s some problem with package dependency and hence it’s trying to download one of the package for V7 which isn’t supported by CentOS8.

Thank you for sharing. Fixed the issue in no time. Small note: I used the version containerd.io-1.2.13-3.1.el7.x86_64 which is the newest, but is sorted lexicograpgically “wrong”…
