  • yum Docker install error Errno 256 Errno 14 HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found

    Posted on

    As I have done in the past, I am trying to install docker-ce on RHEL 7(ppc64le) like this:

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

    yum repolist
    repo id repo name
    docker-ce-stable/x86_64 Docker CE Stable - x86_64

    sudo yum install docker-ce
    I get the error output below. I have tried all the solutions recommended, but I think the real error is the very last line in the error output which is:

    failure: repodata/repomd.xml from docker-ce-stable: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
    https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/7/ppc64le/stable/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found

    Any suggestions on how to resolve this error?

    thanks

    To address this issue please refer to the below knowledge base article

    If above article doesn’t help to resolve this issue please open a ticket with Red Hat Support.

    One of the configured repositories failed (Docker CE Stable - ppc64le),
    and yum doesn’t have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
    safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work “fix” this:

    1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

    2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
      upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
      distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
      packages for the previous distribution release still work).

    3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
      yum --disablerepo=docker-ce-stable ...

    4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
      will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
      again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:

      yum-config-manager --disable docker-ce-stable
      

      or
      subscription-manager repos --disable=docker-ce-stable

    5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
      Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
      so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
      slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
      compromise:

      yum-config-manager --save --setopt=docker-ce-stable.skip_if_unavailable=true
      

      failure: repodata/repomd.xml from docker-ce-stable: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
