What is the difference between docker and docker.io in ubuntu apt repository ? I know docker.io means docker daemon. However, does "docker" have any role?

From the Ubuntu Packages search page: docker is a system tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications and docker.io is a Linux container runtime

I did the following search:

  • Ubuntu version: xenial
  • Term: docker

Exact hits

  • xenial (16.04LTS) (x11): System tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications [universe]
