apt install lazydocker fails outright — lazydocker is not in the official Debian or Ubuntu archives at all. Add the deb.griffo.io
repository below and sudo apt install lazydocker gives you the current
release on Debian and Ubuntu alike — currently lazydocker 0.25.2
(updated 2026-08-17).

apt updateStep 2: apt install lazydocker
sudo apt install -y lazydockerapt install -y lazydocker🔄 How to apt install the latest lazydocker
Once the repository is added there is no separate "install latest" command — apt
already resolves to the newest version this repository serves, and that is rebuilt within hours of
every upstream lazydocker release. To move an existing install up to the latest version:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade lazydockerapt update && apt install --only-upgrade lazydockerOr upgrade everything on the machine at once with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.
To see which version you would get before installing, run apt policy lazydocker.

❓ Common questions
Does apt-get install lazydocker work too?
Yes. apt and apt-get read the same sources, so
sudo apt-get install lazydocker is equivalent. apt is the friendlier
front-end; apt-get is the stable one to prefer inside scripts.
Why doesn't apt install lazydocker work out of the box?
lazydocker is not packaged in the official Debian or Ubuntu archives, so a stock system has nothing to install and apt install lazydocker fails with "Unable to locate package". Adding this repository gives apt a source that carries lazydocker and keeps it current.
Which Debian and Ubuntu releases are supported?
Every currently supported release listed in the table above. The
$(lsb_release -sc) in the setup command picks the right suite for the machine you
run it on, so the same three lines work everywhere.
Is this repository trustworthy?
It's an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream lazydocker releases, the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/lazydocker-debian, and the whole archive is GPG-signed. Several upstream projects link to it from their official installation docs.
