You’re using RASPBIAN, not Ubuntu… You’re blindly following directions intended for a different OS entirely.

Because Debian doesn’t have the ability to ADD APT REPOSITORIES…

Again, why are you following a tutorial for an operating system you AREN’T running?

@congthanhsys, Sounds like you need a little help. I hear that some people are getting Docker installed on a Raspberry Pi 4, but there are some hoops that you have to jump through. But, who know the issues may already be fixed. I have found 2 links for you to look through and I hope they help you.

Good Luck

Bear in mind if you do get docker working on the Raspberry PI it will only run docker images designed for the Raspberry PI (or ARM CPU) and will not run any old Docker image you download unless its designed to be compatible with ARM CPUs.

There is some work going on around this, but I believe for now, Docker is architecture specific, although “multi-arch” images are possible.

This is very true.

RPi is not arch=amd64 …

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

and add the following line

deb [arch=armhf] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster stable

This works perfectly fine for me.

Still replying since this showed up quite high on a Google Search for me.
