Installing docker on parrot os

I am new to Linux and using Parrot Os (Home Edition). I am trying to install Docker on the same. But have been unable to do so.

This is for running MySQL and I also think that it will be useful to me later. I tried installing docker using APT package manager as follows:

sudo apt-get install docker

The installation completes but after that it when i try to start the service, it says

Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.service not found.

Since I am an newbie, please give detailed answer or place links so that i can read it myself? Thanks.

never use apt-get on parrot. parrot uses apt. i used apt-get the first time i used parrot and ended up having to completley reinstall parrot.

 $sudo apt install docker.io

this works i just installed it and tried it

first fix all broken packages in your apt repo using sudo apt --fix-broken install then sudo apt update then run sudo apt install docker.io

┌─[root@parrot]─[/home/harry]
└──╼ #sudo apt install docker.io

This command will install docker instead of "apt install docker-ce".

You can easily install docker with the following command.

┌─[user@parrot-virtual]─[~/Desktop]
└──╼ $sudo apt install docker.io

After successful installation..

┌─[user@parrot-virtual]─[~/Desktop]
└──╼ $docker
        
 Usage:  docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND
        
        A self-sufficient runtime for containers

Check your debian version number then cross reference that to their names (i.e wheezy, etc.).

then go to docker ce downloads navigate to linux -> debian -> dists -> (your debian version name) and download the version you want

Now, install it with sudo dpkg -i {your path to the download .deb file}

PS: sudo apt-get install docker doesn't install docker for me anymore. It install wmdocker which seems to be different.

Additional info

here is the result of my uname -a

Linux parrot 5.4.0-4parrot1-amd64 #1 SMP Parrot 5.4.19-4parrot1 (2020-02-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux

You can test if it works with sudo docker run hello-world

Just confirm the docker installation after sudo apt-get install docker is successful.

From the error, it seems docker.service file is not created after installation.

Try to create the docker.service file manually. Refer this.

You probably need to create /etc/systemd/system/docker.socket file with these contents. And /etc/systemd/system/docker.service file with these contents.

Hope this helps.
