Trying to get an updated / current version of docker on debian bullseye, I get:

$ sudo apt-get update
...
Ign:14 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bullseye InRelease
Err:15 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bullseye Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 18.65.229.91 443]
Reading package lists... Done
N: Ignoring file 'docker.list_org' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bullseye Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

This article seemed to point in the right direction but I couldn't find anything that worked.

How do I get around this?

Update: Checking the docker repository from the error above,

https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists

I see sub-directories for many other distributions, but no bullseye

According to the official install instructions the deb URL should be

https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bullseye stable

Not ubuntu.

A simple way to install docker in Linux using the repository:

# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

Add the repository to Apt sources:


echo 

  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian 

  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | 

  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

According to docker doc, I had to replace this $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") with the latest stable debian release bookworm
