Hi @steven_ri,

Thanks for posting. This looks like an issue installing Docker on the Pi. Not particularly an issue with the Losant Edge Agent. There have been some known issues installing Docker on the “Buster” distro of Raspbian.

See: https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/709

There are some workarounds in there that may help! Otherwise, I’d recommend using an older version of Raspbian until the issues are fixed.
