Docker installation on AWS EC2 (RHEL) is not working

I am attempting to install Docker on an AWS EC2 instance that has RHEL 7.3. I get - ec2-user@ip-172-31-14-68:~$ sudo yum install -y docker Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, search-disabled-repos No package docker available. Error: Nothing to do

I then looked up on the website and found that Docker Community Edition is not supported on RHEL. https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ee/rhel/

What OS is it supported on ? Ubuntu, CentOS ?

Thanks

I just installed docker-ce on Ubuntu with no problems. – stdunbar
Thanks! Have you tried it with RHEL ? Any success ? – ksoop
As you said the docs indicate that CE is not available. I was unable to get the CE edition working on a fresh RHEL install. – stdunbar
@stdunbar Thanks for confirming – ksoop
Here is the link for platforms docker supported, docs.docker.com/engine/installation/#cloud Yes. we can not install docker-ce on RHEL versions. And, you could directly go for AWS ECS(EC2 Container Service) – mohan08p

For RHEL 7.x, docker exists in the rhel-7-server-extras-rpms repository. If your subscription has the appropriate entitlements, you can use the following command to enable the repository.

sudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

If successful, you should be able to install the docker package.

And in continuation of the answer given by @Dave.

If you do not have a subscription to RHEL packages you can use CentOS Extras repo and continue with your installation. I have already answered a very similar question. Please refer to that. Installing Docker CE in redhat

Use below command for ec2 redhat instances and then run yum install docker

$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras
