I am unable to install docker on open suse 15.2, the glibc version does not satisfy docker's dependency:

sudo zypper install docker docker-bash-completion python3-docker-compose
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
2 Problems:
Problem: nothing provides libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.32)(64bit) needed by docker-20.10.3_ce-9.2.x86_64
Problem: nothing provides libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.32) needed by docker-20.10.3_ce-9.2.i586

Problem: nothing provides libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.32)(64bit) needed by docker-20.10.3_ce-9.2.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install docker-20.10.3_ce-9.2.x86_64
 Solution 2: break docker-20.10.3_ce-9.2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c/d/?] (c):

I have attempted to update glibc, however:

No update candidate for 'glibc-2.26-lp152.26.3.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.

I am reluctant to install a higher version of glibc from source, as we all know how catastrophic messing with glibc can be!

Looks like the only way to solve this (for now at least) was to install docker via snapcraft (snap) which has got me up and running again.

See also: https://snapcraft.io/install/docker/opensuse

As I understand it, snap packages contain all there dependencies and do not rely on system shared objects.
