Question Docker on AlmaLinux

[SirSpuitElf]

Hi there, Folks!

Plesk has made the commitment to support AlmaLinux as an I believe CloudLinux Fork. This is really great! I was trying to install Plesk on a clean installation which went flawlessly. However, when I wanted to install Docker, it did not install the local Docker Host.

Question: Will Plesk support Local Docker Connections on AlmaLinux anytime soon? I am asking this because I almost rely on Docker and need a solution for Docker to work.

A workaround which I do not prefer is installing Plesk on CentOS 8, install Docker and then do an in-place migration to AlmaLinux.

The problem is that RHEL doesn't offer native support for Docker, and neither does AlmaLinux, since it is a fork of RHEL. Instead, Red Hat pushes support for Podman, an alternative to Docker.

Isn’t Podman something you want to support in this case?

Very low demand: Podman support

Got it. I think CentoOS8 is not used that often and people are still on CentOS 7 or Ubuntu/Debian. This might be de reason there is low demand for now. I think it will change in the future but I’ll go for Ubuntu 20.04 then.

Sorry to hijack your thread but I too faced this localhost docker extension issue. I've currently installed this workaround on my testing server:

Install Docker CE on Rocky Linux 8 / AlmaLinux 8 - TechViewLeo

Welcome lovely people to today's guide on how to install Docker CE on Rocky Linux 8 / AlmaLinux OS 8. Docker CE is a free to use and open source

Hope that Plesk support this workaround by keeping the extension supported.

I have installed Plesk on Ubuntu Server 20.04.02 LTS where Docker is installed during the installation. Once I have Plesk installed, I downloaded the Docker extension and the localhost option is available.

Just tested on Centos 8.4.2 and the Docker extension for localhost works!

The Docker in Centos 8.4.2 was built in and doesn't' need to be installed separately.
