I get the following when trying to install Docker on Ubuntu 16.04:

michael@michael-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get update                    
Err:8 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ Release                            
  404  Not Found [IP: 13.32.250.25 443]

Reading package lists... Done                                                       

E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ Release' does not have a Release file.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely and is therefore disabled by default.

N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Can someone help me fix this issue?

Your software source is likely wrong. If you use the command listed here the command should look like:

add-apt-repository deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu xenial stable

This is also more or less the new line that is added to /etc/apt/sources.lst

Secure source did not work for me; if you are having the same problem as myself you might want to try with the following repository link.

add following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb [arch=amd64] http://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu xenial stable
