apx install --sideload does not work

[alihassan1989]

i have installed docker and all of its dependencies in the transactional shell and after reboot i tested docker in the terminal and everything worked fine. I need the docker gui but I can't get it to install. I even downloaded the .deb package and ran apx install --sideload path/to/package.deb (I used the actual location and package name) but I keep getting an error. I tried another .deb package but still received an error.

here are some screenshots of the errors: https://github.com/alihassan1989/vanillaOS-screenshots/blob/main/Screenshot%20from%202022-12-31%2011-44-50.png https://github.com/alihassan1989/vanillaOS-screenshots/blob/main/Screenshot%20from%202022-12-31%2012-07-55.png

Have you tried going abroot shell and install it there like you would on a regular Ubuntu?

[alihassan1989]

yes I did, it gave me the same error. every time I try to install a .deb file it fails and it moves the .deb file to /home/user/.cache/apx/

I have this same problem when installing a .deb. Apx throws that error at the end, and the app is nowhere to be found.

what are you actually triying installing? docker desktop on top of docker engine?

I'm using docker on installed via abroot and use portainer.io if I need any form of UI I did tried installing docker-desktop via abroot and worked without docker-engine installed docker-engine is included in the installer if you are using different types of docker bits installs apx and not abroot you will get weird errors.

install it via repository in abroot and not via .deb https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#set-up-the-repository

There is a whole Discussion on installing Docker in server https://discord.com/channels/1023243680829681704/1059739495618072657

Which will be useful here.

Closing since the sideload works and the problem is related to the package. Also the correct repository was Apx.
