elementary os 7 horus has no release file

[rshpeley]

On elementary os 7 horus (built on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS) I get the error,

E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu horus Release' does not have a Release file.

When will this file be released?

There's a similar issue with nodejs, but it was a simple script change to get it to install.

I followed the Docker Docs instructions to install, so it seems this isn't the right place to post. Can someone suggest where I can post this issue?

Same issue but slightly different solution, so I'll post it here again.
You need to replace all occurrences in the docker apt file with jammy.
To do so open a terminal and enter this:

sudo sed -i 's/horus/jammy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

Enter your password and after that do apt update to update the package lists.
Now apt install docker should work fine.

Can confirm that this worked. Thank you

This worked for me as well, but I have to write:

sudo sed -i 's/horus/jammy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmeteo-api.list 

Thank you guys!

Yes, we don't provide packages for that Linux distro; 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.
