I've been running a plex meida server for over 10 years. Over that decade, I've gotten married, bought a house, and had 3 kids, so due to lack of time involved, I never upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04. Recently, my original SDD that held the OS finally crapped out. I gave it a proper memorial, and now that my wife and kids are all hooked on it, have been given the permission to upgrade everything. PLAY TIME. So I bought a new 500GB SSD and I upgraded from 16TB Sata raid, to 16TB SAS Raid (bought the controller and the drives). Everything went together beautifully, and the sas card works great, no issues there. My question is my newness to 20.04 and the way things work. Pulling from my 16.04 knowledge, I did the normal


    sudo apt install docker

and everything installed no issue. great. The logical thing I did next was check the status of the program by typing:


    sudo systemctl status docker

and I get the error


    tmataraza@plexstorage:~$ sudo apt-get install docker

Unit docker.service could not be found.

So I am clueless. If I try to install again, I get docker is already installed, but if I try to check if its running, it says no service available. I scoured the webs and this site and I cant find anything on this subject. I was pretty fluent in 16.04 but apparently Im gonna be a newb again with 20.04. Out of curiosity I tried this same process on plex. Everything worked on install and I know plex is running cuz I can get to the I.P directly and configure my server, however, when I do the status command, I get


    tmataraza@plexstorage:~$ sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver
Unit plexmediaserver.service could not be found.

Clueless. What am I missing?? Also, it's probably dumb newbie oversight, so dont hold back. lol

You install wrong package. Try:


sudo apt install docker.io
