I've installed Ubuntu 17.04 (VirtualBox). But since I have Ubuntu 17.04, it seems like docker is not yet available for Ubuntu 17.04. Is there any workaround to install Docker on Ubuntu 17.04?

This is my commande line history:

 2 curl -L -s`-`uname -m` >/tmp/docker-machine && chmod +x /tmp/docker-machine && sudo cp /tmp/docker-machine /usr/local/bin/docker-machine 3 docker-machine version 4 docker pull ubuntu:latest 5 sudo apt-get update 6 sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual 7 sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common 8 sudo curl -fsSL | sudo apt-key add - 9 sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
10 lsb_release -cs
11 sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
12 sudo apt-get update
13 sudo apt-get install docker-ce -y

This is the actual error:

Docker hasn't setup a repository for the latest ubuntu, but that's an easy fix because their release for ubuntu 16 is compatible. For the time being, just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and on the line:

deb [arch=amd64] zesty stable

Replace zesty by xenial. Run sudo apt-get update and you can proceed with sudo apt-get install docker-ce

Just a quick note: Currently to install docker-ce on ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) you need to be on the edge channel: see

Therefore you need to add deb [arch=amd64] zesty edge to your sources.

The information in this thready is outdated and can result in malfunctioning docker installation; ubuntu zesty is now supported, and packages are available; see the installation manual:

Uninstall old versions

Older versions of Docker were called docker or docker-engine. If these are installed, uninstall them:

$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io

Automated Installation

If you want all the installation steps to be done "automatically", you can also use the installation script at

Install Using the Repository

Update the apt package index:

$ sudo apt-get update

Install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

$ sudo apt-get install \ apt-transport-https \ ca-certificates \ curl \ software-properties-common

Add Docker’s official GPG key:

$ curl -fsSL | sudo apt-key add -

Verify that the key fingerprint is 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88.

$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
pub 4096R/0EBFCD88 2017-02-22 Key fingerprint = 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid Docker Release (CE deb) <>
sub 4096R/F273FCD8 2017-02-22

Use the following command to set up the stable repository (for the amd64 architecture):

$ sudo add-apt-repository \ "deb [arch=amd64] \ $(lsb_release -cs) \ stable"

INSTALL DOCKER CE

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce

Thanks Sebastiaan van Stijn for helping me with this.

There is no official support of docker in Ubuntu 17.04 yet. An alternative is to download and install the binary of docker from .

For example if you want to install docker version 17.04.0-ce from binary, follow these steps:

$ wget
$ tar xzvf docker-17.04.0-ce.tgz
$ cd docker

This docker directory contains all the binaries. You need to add this directory to your PATH. You will need to manually start dockerd first.This page contains more details about how to install and run docker from a binary.

I finally managed to make it work. Here's the solution that works for me:

1. Use the solution proposed by Ravexina:

   sudo apt install docker.io

2. Then use this :

   sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker

3. Finally, reboot my system

Voilà ... it works perfect.

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb ubuntu-zesty testing'

apt-cache policy docker-engine
apt-get install docker-engine

Just use followingcurl -fsSL | sh .. .. .. sudo usermod -aG docker $USERSource:
