Hello, I have this message after sudo apt-get install docker-ce :

Reading state information... Done
Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Looks like sudo apt-get install docker works

Now
sudo apt-get install docker.io

Works in Linux Mint 19

Thanks bro

Now
sudo apt-get install docker.io

Works in Linux Mint 19

Very nice thx

Thanks @trfiladelfo I've updated the gist. Also updated to the latest LTS version of docker-compose.

Hey, I tried to use your script on Linux Mint 19.2, but adding the apt-repository I get the following message:

Malformed input, repository not added.

So, to solve this problem I use the following line, basically you have to edit manually the sources.list.

echo -e "\ndeb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

This occurs because add-apt-repository of Linux Mint is not the same as Ubuntu, as said in this issue. Maybe, this could help someone else.
Thnx

Hey, I tried to use your script on Linux Mint 19.3, but adding the apt-repository I get the following message:

Malformed input, repository not added.

So, to solve this problem I use the following line, basically you have to edit manually the sources.list.

echo -e "\ndeb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Thank you so much, I was having this exact issue as well. This solved it for me.

Ei, tentei usar seu script no Linux Mint 19.3, mas adicionando o repositório apt, recebo a seguinte mensagem:

Malformed input, repository not added.

Então, para resolver esse problema, eu uso a seguinte linha, basicamente você precisa editar manualmente o sources.list.

echo -e "\ndeb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Isso ocorre porque o add-apt-repository do Linux Mint não é o mesmo que Ubuntu, como dito nesta edição . Talvez isso possa ajudar outra pessoa.
Thnx

Estava com o mesmo problema no Linux Mint cinnamon 19.2 "Tina" x64b. Obrigado.

If anyone like me using 19.3 tricia release of Mint, and having problems with error
"Malformed input, repository not added."
visit ( https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=300469 ).
The answer provided by " Diydavid" would do the trick.

Gracias

I've updated this gist to resolve issues based on the comments above.
