Please provide a Docker repo for Fedora 43

The Docker-CE Fedora repository is the recommended way to install it. It has many benefits over installing from a package or any other method.

Fedora also releases a new version every six months. The Fedora repository also takes a very long time to become ready after the release of a new version, with many issues being opened after each recent Fedora is released.

Fedora has officially branched Version 43 might have a beta release on — 2025-09-16 and the Final Version Will be ready
2025-10-28 — Final release target date 1

I'm filing this issue to hopefully put this task on the radar so that there might be a repository set up in time for the Fedora 43 release cycle...

NOTE

Some of us migrate when the beta version when is ready so we have to disable the repository and wait for it to be ready

I can't install Docker CE on Fedora 43 now.

As a workaround, you can modify /etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo and replace $releasever with 42. That should allow you to install docker as described docker's documentation.

That seems to work fine for the time being.

Here's the contents of that file after modification:

Hi, packages for Fedora 43 are now available with the Docker 28.5.0.

Let me know if there are any issues!

@Fedorista looks like you're using the 43 repo for your 42 install? (the url has fc42 instead of fc43)
