Centos 7 install a specific version of docker ce

I’m trying to install a specific version of Docker CE, the 20.10.5, to do this I list the versions available with this command:

yum list docker-ce-cli --showduplicates | sort -r

This is the output:

docker-ce-cli.x86_64              1:20.10.6-3.el7               docker-ce-stable
docker-ce-cli.x86_64              1:20.10.5-3.el7               docker-ce-stable
docker-ce-cli.x86_64              1:20.10.4-3.el7               docker-ce-stable
docker-ce-cli.x86_64              1:20.10.3-3.el7               docker-ce-stable

then I specify the version in the installation:

sudo yum install docker-ce-20.10.5-3.el7

But when I run docker --version I still get the 20.10.6 version:

Docker version 20.10.6, build 370c289

What I’m doing wrong?

    From your questions looks like you already running docker version. please try this:

    1- have you already running the any higher docker version? if yes please uninstall it through yum and then install docker CE version( which you want to install).

    2- if above mentioned does not work then i prefer to install it directly rather than yum repo.

    You are listing the docker-ce-cli packages, but then installing docker-ce. You’ll probably want to install both (and possibly the containerd.io as well). See https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/centos/#install-using-the-repository

    When checking the version, you can also do docker version instead of docker --version which will show both the Client and Engine versions, as well as some additional info.
