I have attempted to install docker-ce for hours now without success.
I am running vanilla 18.04 and have used both the official and the DigitalOcean installation guides which both produce the same error.
Attempted solutions:
- this step-by-step answer to remove Docker completely before any reattempt.
- I have downloaded and tried older versions per the advise from this blog post
- I have disabled my VPN service which has been suggested elsewhere on AskUbuntu.
