Why isn't installing docker from the Debian repositories recommended? (feddit.uk)

It's a bit strange how The Debian Way recommends installing software from the official repository, but not in the case of a crucial program like Docker.

Debian repo of docker is a couple versions behind.

The current official release is 29.2.1
While the Debian repo is 26.1.5

There are security issues that have been patched since 26.1.5 was released in 2024.

3 of them allows for container escape which you don't want.

Thanks. I thought Debian was supposed to include security updates.

They do. The person you are replying to is wrong.
