Installing docker and docker-compose on ubuntu needs many steps. [1] [2]

E.g. for Arch you only need pacman -S docker docker-compose

  • Why is the apt for docker-compose 'outdated'? (Version 1.24 vs. 1.21) How can I help to change this?
  • Why use Docker another repository which I have to add?

My understanding about apt and how to maintain is a little bit poor. And I can't find something like in the the Arch package list, where you can read the package file. (Example)

Open the terminal and type: `sudo apt install composer docker docker-compose` – karel Apr 30 '19 at 12:58

    You probably need to ask the people from docker. Installation -from- Ubuntu is the normal 3 or 4 lines: (possibly add keyserver,) add ppa for package, update system, install package – Rinzwind Apr 30 '19 at 13:00
  • Tanks @karel and @Rinzwind In the case of `docker-compose` the version is too old for me. Is for apt here a place to show the package file like for Arch? Or is there a way to contribute easy? – Wie Apr 30 '19 at 13:14

    [Ubuntu Packages Search](https://packages.ubuntu.com/) has the info online. The same information can be fetched from the terminal with `apt policy docker-compose` and `rmadison docker-compose` – karel Apr 30 '19 at 13:18
  • Tanks, I have found on launchpad https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker-compose what I have searched. – Wie Apr 30 '19 at 13:44
