Installing Docker on Ubuntu 16.04

My morning so far has been banging my head against trying to get the docker installation to work, so far I have had no luck. I have an Ubuntu 16.04 server set up. I know there are a few articles on this set up but none of them seem to help out.

The guide I have been following:

Here is the steps of what happens.

First:

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

Which is good! The next step is a sudo apt-get update which returns something less good. A lot of documentation I have read does not seem to help me solve this, so I plug on to see if something will correct this later. Third step is

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

No issues here.

Fourth step is the docker fingerprint key

curl -fsSL | sudo apt-key add -

Which just outputs OK

Fifth step I do is the sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88 which outputs the key as it is shown in the docker installation documentation.

Sixth step is the repository:

sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"

No output is shown just brings me to a new command line.

Seventh step is sudo apt-get update which shows the same output as in step 2.

Eigth step is the actual install. sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.ioWhich outputs:

I am not sure of what files to edit. But every line is spelled correctly and it still throws issues my way and I am at a loss. If anyone has any tips thatd be fantastic.

Is your host's CPU arch 64-bit?

I had the same issues trying to install docker on 32-bit Ubuntu 18.04. On 32-bit hosts, you need to follow this answer.
