 # Debian 9
-Debian 9 does NOT contain a docker.io package. You can use Docker CE [by following this instructions](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-debian-9).
-Unfortunately Docker CE seems to install an old version of docker-compose, not supporting the new file format 3 used by us. 
-> This are probably all solvable problems, but we currently have no documentation what exactly needs to be done and therefore do NOT recommend updating to 19.1 at the moment.
+Debian 9 does NOT contain a docker.io package. You can use Docker CE [by following this instructions](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-debian-9), or the short version here:
+```
+apt update
+apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
+curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
+apt update
+apt install docker-ce
+# due to known bug docker-ce wont start unless you reboot the maschine
+reboot
+```
+Please verify that docker is running, after the reboot, our installation will not run without:
+```
+systemctl status docker
+```
+Now you can follow the Ubuntu/Debian instructions above using "Debian_9.0" instead of "xUbuntu_18.04".
