Description

Describe the Bug

Incorrect URL is used for the package_ce_source_location that includes "/centos/" which the docker stopped updating ~5 months ago.

Expected Behavior

Latest docker-ce package should be installed but were getting an older version because the incorrect repo URL is used.

Steps to Reproduce

Apply on any Rocky8, Alma8 or RedHat8. Docker version installed is 26 but should be 27.

Environment

  • Platform Rocky8 mostly, but we also have some redhat8.

Additional Context

Compare these two repos:
https://download.docker.com/linux/rhel/8/x86_64/stable/Packages/
https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/8/x86_64/stable/Packages/

Seems like the rhel repo would be appropriate for our rocky and alma servers.

Research direction

Start by locating the package_ce_source_location setting for Rocky8, Alma8, and RedHat8, then compare its current CentOS URL with the Docker RHEL repository URLs listed in the issue. Confirm the change by checking that the latest Docker CE package is selected instead of the older version on these platforms.
