Update docker version

[gaiziRepo]

Hello, how can i update the docker version ?

I have an old version installed with the role geerlingguy.docker version 4.2.1 and the docker version istalled is 19.03.13.

I'm using geerlingguy.docker version 7.1.0 now and i want to update docker to it's latest version 26.0.

I did specify :
docker_packages_state: latest
docker_packages:

• "docker-{{ docker_edition }}-26.0.0"
• "docker-{{ docker_edition }}-26.0.0-cli"
• "docker-{{ docker_edition }}-26.0.0-rootless-extras"

But it does not seem to work. how can i update docker version ? did i miss a step ?

@gaiziRepo you didn't know, but your question is not related to the ansible role per se, because the name of the version of docker depends on your package manager: as an example, this is for Ubuntu 18
5:{{ docker_version }}~3-0~ubuntu-bionic

therefore, to install a specific pinned version of docker, you should do, on ubuntu 18:

docker_version: "19.03.15"
docker_ubuntu_version: "5:{{ docker_version }}~3-0~ubuntu-bionic" 
docker_packages:
      - "docker-{{ docker_edition }}={{docker_ubuntu_version}}"

I put extra verbosity to relay the concept. docker_packages is the role's only variable, the others are for you to remember that the version is 19.03.15, and that it has an awful name in ubuntu 18's repos
