Unable to use Docker in Plesk on AlmaLinux 9: Local Docker node is missing

Plesk for Linux kb: technical ext: docker

Applicable to:

  • Plesk Obsidian for Linux

Symptoms

  • The following warning message is shown on Docker extension page:

    Warning: Local Docker node is missing. Refer to this KB article to resolve this issue.
    The ability to work with remote nodes is available only in the paid version of the extension. You can buy the extension here

  • Docker extension with version lower than 1.9.0 is installed on AlmaLinux 9.

Cause

Unsupported version of Docker extension is installed on the server. Support for Docker on Almalinux 9 was added since Docker extension version 1.9.0.

Resolution

 

In case the extension update is not possible for any reason, consider to use Docker on any Plesk server running one of the following operating systems:

  • AlmaLinux 8.x and Rocky Linux 8.x.
  • CentOS 7
  • RHEL 7
  • Debian 10
  • Debian 11
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Ubuntu 20.04 (also on ARM based server)
  • Ubuntu 22.04 (also on ARM based server)
  • Virtuozzo 7 with Update 1 Hotfix 1 (7.0.1-686) or later.

Or use remote Docker service to Plesk instead.

    You don't explain how to solve it until you do the implementation. And it would have been appreciated.

    After different tests, I have managed to get it working with Almalinux 9, by doing the following (which is self-explanatory): 

    plesk bin extension --uninstall docker
    dnf install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
    systemctl start docker
    systemctl enable docker
    usermod -aG docker psaadm
    plesk bin extension --install docker

    AlmaLinux 9.3 didn't install in my test:

     [extension/docker] Execution installer has failed with exit code 1, stdout: , stderr: The extension does not support installation of local Docker packages on AlmaLinux 9. Please manually install Docker on this server or use a remote one.
