If you click the Docker icon in the status bar and go to. I hope I could clear some things up, but feel free to share your ideas in the roadmap. You can start using Docker directly after installation, but you can also customize it to your wishes.

And we are back to the beginning that Docker Desktop was created to be a Developer tool and the fact that it uses virtual machines (it has to) makes it unsuitable for some tasks. If you use only Docker Desktop, that could work, but there are some features that you can’t use with Docker Desktop. Even if we had a way, Docker Desktoo would still be different, since that feature would most likely not be implemented in the docker client, but as a separate cli application. I think it is hard enough to maintain it and keep it stable on each platform so it could be one of the reasons why we don’t have a way to control the virtual machines from terminal yet.

Just trying to standardize operational procedures all across (ubuntu/debian, redhat/centos, windows & macos…).ĭocker, Inc tries to give us a unified way to use Docker Desktop, but every operating system is different so there have to be differences.
