Docker CE vs Docker.io

amibumpin · 12 November 2025 13:24

Hi, I would like to know if Dietpi installs docker comunity edition vs .io because is the one that Debian support, because I saw a post on stackoverflow, that tells that Debian Ubuntu seems to used the io version, and that the io version was an optimized version.

This come because of this issue on Portainer Failed Loading Environment · Issue #12925 · portainer/portainer · GitHub

That a friend of mine with Ubuntu didn’t have because he didn’t get the latest update because he is on the docker.io version.

Regards!

On RISC-V we use docker.io from Debian repo as the official Docker repo does not support RISC-V yet. For the rest, packages are installed from Docker repo directly.
