Tried the installer.sh script today on a new Debian 13 installation but the installation/setup of Docker seems to fail. (https://docs.planka.cloud/docs/installation/automated/getting-started)

If you inspect the installed packages afterwards, docker-ce is in 'rc' state and docker-cli in 'iU' state. Docker-ce-cli is missing completely.

+ sh -c DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y -qq install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras docker-buildx-plugin docker-model-plugin >/dev/null
+ sh -c docker version
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
docker.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
**Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable docker

#Error...cannot start Docker service**

# dpkg -l|grep docker

ii  docker-compose-plugin           2.39.1-1~debian.13~trixie      amd64        Docker Compose (V2) plugin for the Docker CLI.
ii  docker-model-plugin             0.1.36-1~debian.13~trixie      amd64        Docker Model Runner plugin for the Docker CLI.

You can fix it by issuing apt install docker-ce which then removes 'docker-cli' and installs docker-ce and docker-ce-cli.

After that step, systemctl status docker.service shows a running docker service, calling the installer again, breaks it again.

I can provide more info if required, not sure right now how to proceed, any help is appreciated.

Hey! Thanks for reporting this. It's probably better not to use it right now - it hasn't been synced with the latest version. I wouldn't recommend using it until we update it. We also need to add a note about this to the docs...

We took the Docker compose way and this works for us as well. Thanks for the tool btw.

One note to add, the manual installation still points to Debian11 and I wasn't able to get it running on
Debian13 using this approach as well.
