The docker repository does not have a release file

Question

I'm trying to install Docker on a Raspberry Pi 3.

I followed the instructions and ran:

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

When I do this, I get the following error:

# Executing docker install script, commit: 2f4ae48
+ sh -c apt-get update -qq >/dev/null 
E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/raspbian 10 Release' does not have a Release file.

I've tried to modify the docker.list file located at:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d

The file contains deb [arch=armhf] https://download.docker.com/linux/raspbian 10 stable, but I understand that this file is downloaded/replaced when I run the previous commands. I also took a look at /etc/apt/sources.list but there is just 1 deb and it is related to Raspberry Pi. Nevertheless, commenting it out did not solve anything.

I navigated with my web browser to https://download.docker.com/linux/raspbian and I can see there is a directory there called dists. I tried replacing:

https://download.docker.com/linux/raspbian 10 stable

with:

https://download.docker.com/linux/raspbian/dists/stretch 10 stable

but I just the same no release file error when I try to run sh get-docker.sh again...

Does anyone have any ideas?

Edit:

I can install Docker using the .deb files but the solution posted on the Docker website is incorrect.

This appears to be an issue with lack of support for Raspbian 10 (buster) on Docker's site, however you can use this workaround for now (worked for me):

sudo curl -sL https://get.docker.com | sed 's/9)/10)/' | sh
