Docker 19.03 on CoreOS

[Louis Pilfold]

Hello everyone! 

Security at my company are mandating that we use a new version of docker (19.03), but it seems that CoreOS uses the older and now unsupported 18.06 version in every channel.

Is there a recommended approach to upgrading docker and is there a reason why CoreOS uses an older version?

Thank you.

Hi,

See https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/2624#issuecomment-550111416.  There are no plans to upgrade Docker in Container Linux before Container Linux reaches end of life.  It's technically possible to build a torcx image with a newer Docker version and deploy it to Container Linux nodes, but I'm not aware of any documentation that specifically describes that process.

All the press releases, interviews, blogs, etc that I can find seem to indicate CoreOS will continue to be developed by the community, and so the concept of EoL doesn't apply (e.g. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/coreos-user/GR4YlF2c1dM). 

Was there some EoL announcement? What am I misunderstanding?

There are no plans for CL to be community maintained after EOL. We are
in maintenance mode right now. We don't have a hard EOL date but will
certainly post to this list once we do.
