Wondering how to resolve the error when installing Docker on Rocky Linux 8.6? Our Docker Support team is here to lend a hand with your queries and issues.

What causes the Error when installing Docker on Rocky Linux 8.6

Have you been coming across the following error when attempting to install Docker on Rocky Linux?

If your answer is yes, you are in luck! Our experts are going to take us through the root cause behind this error.

In fact, this error often arises due to a conflict between Docker and the container-tools module. This is due to the presence of the Podman tool. This tool is incompatible with Docker. In other words, we cannot install both of these tools at the same time on the system.

Fortunately, our experts have come up with a quick fix for this error.

How to resolve this error when installing Docker on Rocky Linux

1. First, we have to log in to the server through SSH.
2. Then run either one of the following commands:

   yum remove runc podman

   Or

   dnf remove @container-tools

   The first code removes the Podman tool while the latter removes the container-tools module in Rocky Linux.

Since the error is due to a conflict between tools, removing either of the tools will do the trick.
