Resolved Unable to install Docker

straddi

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 11.7
Plesk version and microupdate number
Obsidian 18.0.51 Update #1
The attempt to install Docker via the extensions ends with the error message:

[2023-05-13 14:25:28.696] 49934:645f81a8b24d6 ERR [extension/docker] The execution of post-install.php has failed with the following message:
[2023-05-13 14:25:28.687] 50092:645f81b8a7944 ERR [extension/docker] Execution installer has failed with exit code 1, stdout: , stderr: ERROR:__main__:Command '['apt-get', '-q', '--assume-yes', '-o', 'Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef', '-o', 'Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold', '-o', 'APT::Install-Recommends=no', '--purge', 'install', 'apt-transport-https', 'ca-certificates', 'gnupg2', 'software-properties-common']' returned non-zero exit status 100.

After that, Docer can be seen in Plesk in the left panel.
If you click on it, the error message appears:
Warning: Local Docker Node is missing. Read this KB article to solve the problem.
Remote nodes are only available in the paid version of the extension. You can buy the extension here.

I have already tried the following solution suggested in the forum

Remove the package, if still present and move its files:
# dpkg -P docker-ce
# mv /var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker_bk
Remove the repolist plesk-ext-docker.list, if still present:
# rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plesk-ext-docker.list
Install Docker extension again via Extensions > Extensions Catalog.

Unfortunately without success

Is there a solution
 
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling through SSH?

Bash:
plesk bin extension --uninstall docker
plesk bin extension --install docker

What does the logs show? You can find the logs at:
/var/log/plesk/install/autoinstaller3.log
/var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log
and
/var/log/sw-cp-server/sw-engine.log
 
I had also tried the cli installation. Also without success.
I found the following message around the time of the installation

I've tried the following again:

plesk bin extension --uninstall docker
plesk bin extension --install docker

and looked at the logs.

No log except sw-engine.log shows a change and it looks like this.

I tried to install some other extension. That works without any problems. I am completely at a loss. Another idea what I can do?
 
I couldn't replicate it on a brand new debian 11 server, only thing I can suggest is to open a ticket with Plesk support so they can access your server and see what's happening.
 
First of all, thank you very much for the effort you have made.

Could that be the reason?
Only this version of Virtuozzo is supported according to the documentation: Virtuozzo 7 with Update 1 Hotfix 1 (7.0.1-686) or later.
That was the key clue.
I contacted the provider. In principle, the Docker runs in their Virtuozzo environment, but the Provider first deactivate the possibility of Docker installation.
However, support can enable this.
I have made a request to that effect. I'll report back to the forum when I have an answer.
 
I received feedback from support that the docker function was activated.
The installation worked without any problems.
 
My environment in the log says ~empty and I see no way in my CentOS 7 self-managed VPS (VMware) to further enable this. How can I get docker to run?
