   Oracle Linux is unsupported on Docker CE, but probably you can use CentOS RPMs: https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/7/x86_64/stable/Packages/

   Why is it unsupported? probably can use centos rpm's as the system is fully compatible, so what is the problem with CE ?

   Did you solve this? I wanted to update Docker and getting the same error. And I'm running on Oracle too.

   Hi man I looked on the web for some guide and installed it. I am not 100% sure if this was the one but I think so:

   I think we may use the "ID_LIKE" field instead of the "ID" to check if the base OS is supported. So I created a pull request for this change: #231

   This pull request is tested on pardus and its working perfectly.

   Script output before the change:

   # Executing docker install script, commit: 7cae5f8b0decc17d6571f9f52eb840fbc13b2737

   I have installed docker on more than 500 servers running Pardus this way and they are working perfectly for more than 6 months.

   If you think this change is risky than you may consider adding an option (for example --support-base-os) to use the "ID_LIKE" field so the user may take the risk himself.

   Yes, we don't provide packages for Oracle Linux; as mentioned above, it's possible that packages for other similar distros work, but we don't want to update the script to automatically "guess" something that "could" work, because no testing/verification is done on those distros, and we try to avoid "pretending" that it's supported / tested. Also see https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/#other-linux-distros

   My general recommendation would be to;

   • Verify if the packages work for your situation / distro (in a testing environment)
   • If they do, and you're comfortable running them on your systems, and if you need to automate setups; create a script based on the steps of this script;
     • you can use --dry-run to see the steps it executes
     • or (as the script largely automates the manual installation steps); base your script on the instructions for the distro you're installing packages for; e.g. https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/centos/

   Maybe (to be discussed) we could consider a manual "I know what I'm doing" option that allows overriding these options (e.g. as suggested in #229, or a --override-distro=xxx flag), but that needs to be discussed.

   I'm closing this ticket for now, but feel free to continue the conversation or to open a ticket with a proposal for alternatives.
