Something that impressed me from the get-go about Docker was how simple it turns out to be to install and get the engine running on most platforms.
Then the other day I got stuck trying follow their simple instructions to install it on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial and if you have faced this - you would have tried all manner of things with package repositories, etc as well.
The following is an example of the related discussions which could solve your problem:
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/1030179/package-docker-ce-has-no-installation-candidate-in-18-04
- https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/363048/unable-to-locate-package-docker-ce-on-a-64bit-ubuntu
- https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-ubuntu-16-04

- https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/install-docker-ubuntu-16-04/
However - note that my problem was actually a simple but subtle one. and none of the above worked for me until I chanced upon this post:

Thanks to madsivas! I had been trying to install on the i386 version - once I switched to the amd64 one, everything just worked.
