linux - Cannot install docker in a RHEL server

Question

I am getting Requires: fuse-overlayfs >= 0.7 error while installing docker in RHEL-7.

sudo yum install docker-ce
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager

This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around

I already tried

sudo rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/fuse-overlayfs-0.7.2-6.el7_8.x86_64.rpm

Answer 1

Had this problem too when trying to install Docker. This worked to get fuse-overlayfs

sudo yum install fuse3-devel
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/fuse-overlayfs-0.7.2-6.el7_8.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum localinstall fuse-overlayfs-0.7.2-6.el7_8.x86_64.rpm

I got the package url from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/

The next thing missing for me is slirp4netns >= 0.4. I'm going to try the same trick. And yes, that did work and the docker install went through

 sudo yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
