How to make subuser to support "docker-ce"? about subuser HOT 5 CLOSED

How does docker-ce differ in usage? What is broken?

from subuser.

Because that docker-io won't be supported by most latest linux systems, it will prevent users to intsall subuser successfully. For example, i'm using kali os or ubuntu os, after i downloaded subuser deb package from https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/subuser/download, and exec "gdebi subuser_0.6.2-3_all.deb", it will say: "This package is uninstallable Cannot install 'docker.io'" While i have install docker-ce in my os, docker-ce is already the newest version (5:18.09.53-0debian-buster).

@diyism you should use apt install

@timthelion I think that @diyism's problem is with debian deb packages. subuser requires docker.io

It could probably be fixed by Debian (and docker the provider of docker-ce), by having package docker-ce, and docker.io provide docker-containers, and subuser require docker-containers

You can have a flexible requirement of docker-ce || docker.io in the Debian control files I think, no need to mess with a 3rd virtual package just to satisfy the need for a docker binary the user can use.

Yes, we can re-package subuser: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/534868/34654
