I followed https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/#installing-a-newer-docker-version to update docker for new features, but it’s not working.

before_install:
  # Install Docker 18.09+ for enabling DOCKER_BUILDKIT: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/#installing-a-newer-docker-version
  - curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
  - sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
  - sudo apt-get update
  - sudo apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" install docker-ce
  # After upgrade, I had to restart docker and move docker-cli to /usr/local/bin
  - sudo systemctl restart docker
  - sudo chgrp travis /var/run/docker.sock
  - sudo cp /usr/bin/docker /usr/local/bin/docker
  - docker info

Could we update the doc or give me some advice for this issue?

Trusty with apt addon (as documented) updates the Docker version from 17.09.0 to 18.06.3-ce

Newer images have newer versions as well; e.g., focal.
