Ansible Docker installation apt-key about boilerplates HOT 2 CLOSED

removed the need for installing apt-key, as ubuntu 22.04 allows to install docker.io via apt

from boilerplates.

@ChristianLempa heya - that's definitely a good solution!

However, just to note, there's some discussion regarding docker.io vs docker-ce (https://www.reddit.com/r/docker/comments/tavjen/question_about_install_dockerio_or_dockerce/ and https://octopus.com/blog/difference-between-docker-versions) that may be worth considering:

Excerpt from the stackoverflow link mentioned in octopus.com:

Choosing between docker.io and docker-ce

The main decision is whether to install the OSS version of docker from your Linux distribution or directly from Docker Inc. A few points to consider:

• Documentation on https://docs.docker.com/ will be focused towards docker-ce.
• Support for issues from Docker Inc. will want you to have installed their version. That's only fair if you're a developer that packages the product, that you'd only want to support your own packaging.
• Patches and new releases will be available from docker-ce before docker.io. This may be important for time sensitive security issues.
• Installing docker-ce requires adding another repository to your sources.list, which is one more vendor to trust, and one more list of packages to update with every patch.
• If you only want the CLI so you can access docker on remote machines (e.g. DOCKER_HOST=ssh://[email protected] docker ps), you'll want to use the docker-ce-cli package.

The entire thread is pretty interesting though. It seems both methods have their own merits.

Cheers again!
