  2. Once Docker is uninstalled, ensure to delete all the corresponding images, containers, and volumes by executing the below commands:

    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd
  4. Once Docker is removed, please reboot your system. 
  5. To list all available Docker packages, run the below command:

  9. Docker with the desired version should now be installed.

Cause:

Sometimes, users have already installed a Docker version on their servers, which is higher than the version compatible with Jama Connect. Incompatible Supported Software versions are also not in the scope of Support.
