Assuming that it's Red Hat's fault that there is no el8 package for Docker, I think Red Hat is really shooting themselves in the foot by not supporting Docker in RHEL8. (You can still install the el7 version of Docker on el8 by performing an enable/disable/enable/disable/... module dance, but... why isn't there just an el8 version?)
- bonzini 6y agoRed Hat ships podman for RHEL8, that's what the article is about.
- qiqitori 6y agoYes, but not Docker. (Also Podman is developed by Red Hat.) I think they have rather high hopes there, and are more likely to just shoot themselves in the foot by being one of a small number of distros that don't have Docker. In fact, rebuilders of RHEL (e.g. Oracle Linux) should maybe consider explicitly supporting Docker. "We are 100% compatible with RHEL but additionally also support Docker" definitely makes for better marketing copy than just "We are 100% compatible with RHEL".
