Need upgrade to version 17.06.1-se or above

[wongnwo]

Any chance we can get it updated with docker-ce 17.12 version?

[mkrakowitzer]

Please, an update to the docker package would be great.

The current release version of the https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-storage-for-docker driver is not supported with the current docker package version.

9 months later, we're still on 17.06.0-ce. What is VMware's commitment to Photon if we're already 3 releases behind on what is probably the flagship application on the OS?

[ghost]

we are working on a change to the build system to support multiple versions of docker at the same time. We need to do this because we still want kubernetes to use 17.06 for now. But once this feature is done well add newer versions of docker.

You are going to want to reboot before you start docker to clear up any mess with older drivers still loaded.

If you are still having issues, rm -rf /var/lib/docker, then start over.

Unsexy Update - It's very clear Photon was a slap-our-name-on-it-incubator-project and not an official corporate offering. I have since moved off of Photon due to lack of progress. Best of luck to those still here.

@sharathjg Any updates on this issue?

[BoxedBrain]

Please, we need an upgrade on the docker version.

[DRoet]

FYI latest docker version on photon 2/3 is now 18.06.1

[CondormanFr]

how do you update a photon 2 ?
tdnf update or tdnf upgrade answers : nothing to do ...
Thanks

[DRoet]

I'm no expert but try tdnf clean all and tdnf distro-sync. you can check all the available version with tdnf info docker, but tdnf update did give me the option to upgrade docker to 18.06.1

if u mean upgrading to photon 3 (ga), that's described here:
https://vmware.github.io/photon/assets/files/html/3.0/photon_installation/Upgrading_to_photon_os_3.0.html

[CondormanFr]

tdnf distro-sync updates some product but not docker despite i saw the 18.06.1 with the tdnf info docker command...
Strange mechanism..

[DRoet]

are u sure it is not already installed? since it shows Repo: @System in ur tdnf info...
what does docker -v output? (maybe requires reboot to update?)

[CondormanFr]

# docker --version
Docker version 17.05.0-ce, build 89658be

The reboot remains docker in this state.

[DRoet]

and ur tdnf version? tdnf --version. Seems pretty strange either way, but maybe upgrading to photon os 3.0 might work if u have the opportunity.

[ppadmavilasom]

@CondormanFr Please do tdnf install docker --refresh
possible stale local cache

[johnyrose]

@ppadmavilasom Hey, wanted to say its really nice to see that Photon is still being supported and maintained. I was wondering if you have any plans to officially put the security Docker just released after the recent CVE post (here: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-5736)

If not, I once read that Docker can be updated by simply switching the binaries to the most recent ones. I will test this out soon enough myself but do you expect it to work in this case?

[DRoet]

@Ripolak I think its on the way 7586dfe

[CondormanFr]

I installed a photon os 3 on my test server and it's ok

[YustasSwamp]

Thanks for reporting!
