current docker instructions for installing on fedora up to date?

[Robert P. J. Day]

i realize there's been some refactoring of docker packages for
fedora, so before i get buried in this, are the docker instructions
for fedora here:

https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/fedora/

up to date? they look reasonable, just want to verify before i dive
into this. thank you kindly.

I installed it with those instructions maybe a week ago and it has been 
working fine. Even found my old images from previous version. One note 
to take is that I only use the machine to build images and not running 
them otherwise so can't say about long running stuff or custom 
configurations which I don't have either.

You could always also look at podman as an alternative.  Should work the 
same was as the Docker client, but not require you to run a daemon.

interesting ... a (very) cursory glance suggests podman has no
docker-related dependencies, but is based on CNI? so, just to be
clear, one could play with podman with no docker-related packages
installed? that seems worth looking into.

Yes podman mantra is #nobigfatdaemons, so it does not/should not require 
docker to be installed.
