Hello,

What I could suggest is following these steps from the official Docker website on how to install Docker on Debian:

https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/

Hope that this helps!

Hi bobby. If you looked at the errors and the instructions I used, you’d know I already tried that.

The repos won’t update.

  Seems like you are following the steps for Debian 10 and you are running Debian 8. This would not work, would it?
  
  You can try with this guide here:

  Or why not just use Debian 10 anyway?

  Isn’t Buster debian 10?
  
  When I do lsb_release -a I get this:
  
  $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 Codename: buster

  Try cleaning out the apt package cache with sudo apt-get clean, then try the install again.
