Ubuntu and PHP 7.1

I can see that Laravel 5.6 requires PHP 7.1, but it looks to me that the latest version available for Ubuntu is only 7.0 or am I wrong?

I'm running PHP 7.2 on an ubuntu 16.04 server. So I'd say you might be missing something.

I'm trying to install it with Docker, the Ubuntu is version Version: 17.06.1-ce and it says Unable to locate package php7.1 but maybe I should try 7.2 instead then?

My mistake about the Ubuntu version, that refers to the Docker version. However still doesn't solve it.
