moby: Docker binary releases no longer available
I’ve just noticed (with horror):
https://github.com/moby/moby/releases/tag/v17.05.0-ce
Note: those packages won’t be updated for the next releases. Get Docker CE from Docker Store
and now https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-17.06.0-ce.tgzreturns a 403 error.
This is a pretty epic breakage of convention. It’s going to break a lot of people’s things. Is there some more thinking / rationale about why this was done?
The link to the “community store” is to https://store.docker.com/search?type=edition&offering=community, which shows no mention of which one of these things might lead to the binary release. The binaries page still suggests that binaries will be available from the GitHub releases.

@lox we’re missing links to point people to the static binaries, apologies for that. We’ll work to get them up on the docs page.
In the meantime, all the static binaries for the 17.06.0 release can be found at the new location:
The release page for docker/docker-ce really represents the source code. There is more consideration for the user than downloading the static binaries such as prerequisites, security, and upgrading. All of which is more suited for the documentation site than the release page notes.
To bridge the connection between the source release and the binaries to install to get the release, I’ve updated the release page notes at the bottom with an Installation section to link to the docs: https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/releases/tag/v17.06.0-ce
In the future, feel free to file issues about the docker-ce product in the issue-only tracker for docker products for linux: https://github.com/docker/for-linux
There used to be regular builds here: https://download.docker.com/win/static/edge/x86_64/
I think these were used by Docker for Windows. These updates stopped after a while, howeever (last file October 18). Does this means Docker for Windows is not being updated anymore?
@sandersaares try the
pooldirectory; that’s where the.debfiles are in the repository; https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/xenial/pool/How would you suggest that as a user I figure out where to download the binary release from? Say for Amazon Linux?

with the split between the Moby project, and he Docker products, the moby repository is now an upstream for Docker. Releases are now created from the https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/releases repository.
Packages and static builds can be found on https://download.docker.com and https://store.docker.com
