How to Docker and Docker Compose on SLE Desktop 15 SP6

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop
1

Hello,
I need Docker and Docker Compose on my SLE Desktop. I wasn’t able to find a way to install them through Yast and official Docker installation methods didn’t help either.

How can I have Docker and Docker Compose on SLE Desktop 15 SP6?

Thanks

@mohsenmajd Hi, you need to add SUSE PackageHub SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.6/x86_64 for docker-compose.

The likes of docker are only available on SLES.

The other option is to look at user Rancher-Desktop? https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/

Thank you for replying. I tried installing rancherdesktop but during the installation zypper complains that nothing provides qemu.

What can be done now?

@mohsenmajd The qemu packages are available via SUSE Package Hub.

SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.6/x86_64

https://packagehub.suse.com/packages/qemu/

SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.6/x86_64

I did run this command and it successfully finished, however, still when I try to install rancher-desktop through yast software management tool it complains that nothing provides qemu.

We’re clearly missing something here.

@mohsenmajd You need to use YaST Software Manager to install the qemu packages required.

Sir, the problem is Yast isn’t able to find a package called “qemu” thus I’m not able to install it and rancher-desktop requires it.
The PackageHub extension is also enabled.

I’m out of ideas regarding what to do next.

I’d appreciate your dedication of your time.

Thanks

@mohsenmajd Install qemu-x86 and it should also pull in the supporting packages.

That complained about yet another missing dependency.

I think openSUSE is a better choice for my current situation. I’m switching to it.
Thanks for trying to help.
