moby: Following Ubuntu installation instructions result in "Unable to locate package lxc-docker"

Following the Ubuntu Docker Installation Instructions as well as using the provided curl script is giving me a “Unable to locate package lxc-docker” error. I’ve tried multiple times over the last two days. Thanks!

@cpuguy83 My error is the same like the others, Unable to locate package lxc-docker

I have finally been able to install docker. I follow the step in http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/docker:

Download the the repository key with:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 36A1D7869245C8950F966E92D8576A8BA88D21E9

Then setup the repository:

$ sudo sh -c "echo deb https://get.docker.io/ubuntu docker main \
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lxc-docker

Hope it helps.

Now I got:

$ docker -v
Docker version 1.5.0, build a8a31ef

Just a note for the HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT comments: If you are using apt-cacher as a proxy you need to either allow it specifically in the apt-cacher settings or disable the apt-cacher for the installation of docker.

problem solved: use this command (the script references docker.com, when it should reference docker.io):

wget -qO- https://get.docker.io/ | sed -e "s/docker.com/docker.io/g" | sh
