I've installed docker several times before on Ubuntu. Not sure why this isn't working now. There seems to be a release for eoan now. My output is below.

Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package docker-ce-cli
E: Unable to locate package containerd.io
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'containerd.io'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'containerd.io'1 Answer
First, In official documentation, there is no mention of eoan dist as of yet.
Second there is no stable version of docker available for eoan distribution as per my investigation (Distribution Repositories).
So here is what you can try:
- Use the following command to set up the stable repository. To add the nightly or test repository, add the word nightly or test (or both) after the word stable in the commands below. Learn about nightly and test channels.
Hence, use the nightly channel instead of stable
$ sudo add-apt-repository \ "deb [arch=amd64] \ $(lsb_release -cs) \ stable nightly"Good Luck!
