Downgrading Docker from 19.03.2 to 18.09.9 on CentOS 7

I’ve been trying to downgrade docker from 19.03.2 to 18.09.9 on CentOS 7. I installed it via yum.

This is what I’ve tried so far.

Only a single version available returned. 

$ yum list docker-ce.x86_64 --showduplicates | sort -r 
 * updates: centos4.zswap.net
 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
 Installed Packages
 * extras: mirrors.usinternet.com
 * epel: d2lzkl7pfhq30w.cloudfront.net
 docker-ce.x86_64   3:19.03.2-3.el7 .  @docker-ce-stable
 * base: centos4.zswap.net

No luck on this, duh!

$ yum downgrade docker-ce.x86_64 3:18.09.9-3.el7

Tried to downgrade it with downloaded rpm packages. No luck either. 

$ yum downgrade file docker-ce-cli-18.09.9-3.el7.x86_64.rpm 
$ yum downgrade file docker-ce-18.09.9-3.el7.x86_64.rpm 

Finally, the docker engine command ran successfully, but now there are two different versions, APIs are the same though.

$ docker engine update --version 18.09.9 

Two different docker versions.

$ docker version

How do I downgrade the client now?

docker-ce-cli.x86_64              1:18.09.3-3.el7              docker-ce-stable

docker-ce-cli.x86_64              1:18.09.0-3.el7              @docker-ce-stable

    I can achieve this by executing the following command.

    for i in {1..3}; do yum downgrade docker-ce-cli -y; done

    To downgrade your docker-ce version you need to tap this cmd :

    sudo apt-get install -y --allow-downgrades docker-ce=17.03.2~ce-0~ubuntu-xenial
