Centos-7.2 installation - missing ppc64le packages + install script wrong error message

[grooverdan]

Error during installation:

#  curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
Error: you are not using a 64bit platform.
Docker currently only supports 64bit platforms.

Environment:

[root@dyn423 ~]# uname -a
Linux dyn423 4.7.0-rc3-next-20160617 #4 SMP Thu Jun 23 10:47:19 AEST 2016 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
[root@dyn423 ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (AltArch)

Centos with custom kernel in a KVM VM

So it is a 64bit VM so the bug is the script isn't generating the right error message.

Feature request - can Centos packages for ppc64le be added to https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/7/Packages/

Thank you.

Okay, I see the issue with the install script.

It's worth mentioning that RHEL/Centos doesn't officially ship/support Docker on power currently, so I'm not sure if this is a good feature to get into atm.

We do not provide binaries for ppc64le via get.docker.com yet. You can install from source, and some packages can be built.

ppc64le binaries are no longer released since 18.09: https://download.docker.com/linux/static/stable/ppc64le/
