Error: Package: 2:container-selinux-2.74-1.el7.noarch (rhel-7-server-extras-rpms)

Requires: selinux-policy >= 3.13.1-216.el7

Installed: selinux-policy-3.13.1-192.el7_5.6.noarch (@rhel-7-server-rpms)

selinux-policy = 3.13.1-192.el7_5.6

there is dependency issue with the container-selinux version

to fix this error on rhel 7.x i have performed the below things

1) yum install http://vault.centos.org/centos/7.3.1611/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.9-4.el7.noarch.rpm

2) yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2

3) yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

4 ) yum install docker-ce

now start the docker service

You have already have container-selinux installed for version 3.7 check if the following docker-ce version works for you , it did for me.

sudo yum -y install docker-ce-cli.x86_64 1:19.03.5-3.el7

Head to http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/ and get the link to the latest container-selinux package. In my case the link was http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.68-1.el7.noarch.rpm

Head to your terminal as root and run:

yum install http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.68-1.el7.noarch.rpm

After that you can proceed to install docker:

yum install docker-ce

To resolve the following error I was facing to install docker-ce on RHEL-7

Error: Package: 3:docker-ce-18.09.5-3.el7.x86_64 (docker-ce-stable)
           Requires: container-selinux >= 2.9
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Please run following command before installing latest version of docker-ce

yum install -y http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.68-1.el7.noarch.rpm

Once previous command runs successfully then install docker-ce with following command

yum -y install docker-ce

once installation is done then run

systemctl start docker

Note : Run all these commands with root user

To update container-selinux I had to install epel-release first:

Add Centos-7 repository

wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo http://mirrors.aliyun.com/repo/Centos-7.repo

Install epel-release

yum install epel-release

Update container-selinux

yum install container-selinux

I was getting the same error Requires: container-selinux >= 2.9 on amazon ec2 instance(Rhel7)

I tried to add extra package rmp repo by executing sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras
but it works. followed steps from https://installdocker.blogspot.com/ and I was able to install docker.

Try:

yum install http://vault.centos.org/centos/7.3.1611/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.9-4.el7.noarch.rpm

It worked for me.

[SOLVED] Simple one command to fix this issue.

yum install http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.107-3.el7.noarch.rpm

DOCKER Ce is not officialy supported on REHL to fix that run the below commands

wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.107-3.el7.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -i container-selinux-2.107.el7.noarch.rpm

wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/slirp4netns-0.4.3-4.el7_8.x86_64.rpm



#Set up the Docker CE repository on RHEL:
sudo yum install -y yum-utils
sudo yum install -y device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo yum makecache fast
yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

#Start Docker:
sudo systemctl start docker
 
#Test your Docker CE installation:
sudo docker run hello-world

Update June 2019

What a dogs dinner. Unfortunately, the other answers didn't work for me.

For the most part, the official docker instructions for installing using a repository DID work.

sudo yum install -y yum-utils \
  device-mapper-persistent-data \
  lvm2

Followed by:

sudo yum-config-manager \
    --add-repo \
    https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

However, I had to modify the next command as follows (adding --nobest):

sudo yum install docker-ce --nobest

Finally, check the docker client:

docker --version
Docker version 18.09.7, build 2d0083d

Note also, the above works for standard RHEL AMI on AWS, but not for the Amazon Linux AMI type. May also find referencing this github issue insightful.

Added bonus, I found the following additional commands helpful:

Start the docker daemon:

sudo systemctl start docker.service

Give the current user (in my case ec2-user - check with whoami) rights to the docker group. This avoids running everything with sudo.

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Now, logoff and login again as same user as before (in my case ec2-user).

At this point, everything should be working. Check the docker daemon:

docker image ls
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

On CentOS7 I had to follow the third install method, get-docker.sh https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/centos/#install-using-the-convenience-script

The best way to resolve this one is. Download the latest container-selinux package from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/ into the VM or the Machine where docker needs to be installed. Error : sometime it will ask for red hat subscription to download from repo. we can do it manually with out subscription as below Run the below command this will install dependencies manually rpm -i container-selinux-2.107-3.el7.noarch.rpm then run the yum install docker-ce

thanks Saa

As with other answers, adding the "extras" subscribed channels to a CentOS 7 Spacewalk deployment solves this problem as well.

If we face issues in installing docker in an aws ec2 instance. Follow the below steps :

sudo yum update -y
sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker
sudo yum install docker
sudo service docker start
sudo systemctl enable docker
systemctl status docker

(link : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/docker-basics.html)

I followed many links including the official documentation, however it all ended up in this error:

Requires: container-selinux >= 2.9
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

The only way it worked for me is as follows (yum upgrade worked I guess):

yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

yum upgrade docker-ce

this link helped me to solve this issue

Here is the solution: For centos: try

sudo yum install --setopt=obsoletes=0 \
>    docker-ce-17.03.2.ce-1.el7.centos.x86_64 \
>    docker-ce-selinux-17.03.2.ce-1.el7.centos.noarch

For Rhel:

sudo yum install --setopt=obsoletes=0 docker-ce-17.03.3.ce-1.el7.x86_64.rpm docker-ce-selinux-17.03.3.ce-1.el7.noarch.rpm
