Description

Dear authors,

I'm using Debian 11-based distro called armbian and I would like to install rootless docker. When the script tries to download the needed files, for example:
STATIC_RELEASE_URL="https://download.docker.com/linux/static/$CHANNEL/$(uname -m)/docker-${STABLE_LATEST}.tgz"

"uname -m" prints "armv7l" instead of the available versions to download (aarch64, armel, armhf, ppc64le, ...) and the script cannot find it. In my case, my correct selection is "armhf" and I will replace it in the script. I write this issue to be taken into account in future releases of this script.

Best regards and thank you for the effort

Research direction

Start by reading rootless-install.sh and reproducing uname -m on the affected Debian/Armbian setup. Check that architecture selection produces the Docker static URL's armhf path instead of armv7l, then verify the script can download the required files.
