Epel repository is not installed. Run 

sudo yum install epel-release

and then run 

sudo yum install docker-io

    This answer do longer appears to work (`Package epel-release-6-8.noarch already installed and latest version`; `No package docker-io available`). – Tim Malone Mar 06 '19 at 05:20

I found the answer here

I needed to add the EPEL repository where Docker can be found.

Log into your machine as a user with sudo or root privileges.

Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date.

$ sudo yum update

Run the Docker installation script.

$ curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

This script adds the docker.repo repository and installs Docker. Start the Docker daemon.

$ sudo service docker start

If you are coming here for the same issue with RedHat, use

sudo yum install yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras
sudo yum install docker
