install docker-ce on redhat 8 – CentOS

I try to install docker-ce on redhat 8 but it failed

first, I try 

# systemctl enable docker
Failed to enable unit: Unit file docker.service does not exist.

So, I want to install docker-ce for the daemon

# yum install yum-utils
# yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
# yum repolist -v
# yum list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
# yum install docker-ce

but in this step, I have got this :

# yum install docker-ce

    My guess, due to a missing subscription you cannot download packages from repositories the docker-ce package needs. So first register for a development account with redhat, then subscribe your host using the subscription Manager (remember, no production usage allowed then) and then retry the installation.
    Edit: Here are the subscription commands

    subscription-manager register --username <yourname> --password <pw>
subscription-manager role --set="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
subscription-manager service-level --set="Self-Support"
subscription-manager usage --set="Development/Test"
subscription-manager attach

    Edit: sorry i answered too fast. Just tried on a new rhel8. docker-ce-18.06.3.ce-3.el7 is the most current Version for rhel 8 and installs fine

    Disabling the container-tools module (installed by default) resolves the conflict: dnf module disable container-tools

    However, you first need to install the container-selinux dependency, which is provided by the same module:

    [root@centos8-2gb-hel1-1 ~]# yum install container-selinux
...
[root@centos8-2gb-hel1-1 ~]# yum module disable container-tools

Complete!

    The docker-ce package can now be installed normally with the previously installed container-selinux version and the new containerd.io depdency:

    There is a dependency issue in Centos 8 which references the containerd from Centos 7.
    Just install the containerd package manually, and it will work

    yum install -y https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/7/x86_64/stable/Packages/containerd.io-1.2.10-3.2.el7.x86_64.rpm
