Describe the Bug

On latest debian 13 version the installer fails, because a dependency for docker is failing to install. Also continuing the installer afterwards breaks the installer aswell.

The error for docker ist this:

=== Starting installation ===

Would you like to run Pangolin as Docker or Podman containers? (default: docker): docker
Docker is not installed. Would you like to install it? (yes/no) (default: yes): yes

installed docker manually using the docs here https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/ and then tried to run the installer again and got this:

sudo ./installer

Welcome to the Pangolin installer!
This installer will help you set up Pangolin on your server.

Please make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Open TCP ports 80 and 443 and UDP ports 51820 and 21820 on your VPS and firewall.

Lets get started!
Looks like you already installed Pangolin!

=== MaxMind Database Update ===
MaxMind GeoLite2 Country database found.
Would you like to update the MaxMind database to the latest version? (yes/no) (default: no): yes

=== CrowdSec Install ===
Would you like to install CrowdSec? (yes/no) (default: no): no

Installation complete!

To complete the initial setup, please visit:
https://auth/initial-setup

The url at the end is not with removed domain, this is actually what pangolin installer outputs, this is straight up copy pasted 1:1 from the terminal.

Environment

  • OS Type & Version: Debian 13
  • Pangolin Version:
  • Gerbil Version:
  • Traefik Version:
  • Newt Version:
  • Olm Version: (if applicable)

To Reproduce

Install debian 13 without anything. Run pangolin installer, see error.

Expected Behavior

Installer should not fail with debian 13

@pictosun could you provide any logs of the failure using the latest installer? We removed software-properties-common but something else could be causing this.
