Docker Desktop for Linux Desktop Setup and Tips

When you're getting started with Docker and Kubernetes, you'll likely want a local setup. This video explains what Docker Desktop is my preferred way to run Docker and Kubernetes locally. It's part of a series of videos for each OS on how to install and configure Docker Desktop.

5:34 - Thank you for making this point... I've battled this issue for two weeks can could not get a clear understanding from the documentation... There is a special not that says Docker Desktop is not compatible with the latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, however nothing is meantioned about Mint... I'm currently running Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon. I chose it because it was one of the most commonly used, and widely recommended Distros. I just wanted something that was problem free, but apparently that might only be true with Ubuntu... I currently have a Virtualbox installation of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, but that's not going to be useful. I'm glad to finally have answers...

I had lots of problems with Docker Desktop a few months back after I updated it. I was running on Pop_Os 20.04. I even tried apt purge and then reinstalled after I googled the problem. Finally after several attempts I finally used apt with purge and auto remove. I then searched for docker from the root and deleted anything I found. So finally I was able to use Docker Desktop again on Linux again.

Hey Brett, this is a couple years old, but hoping I might get a hint on figuring this out.
Have been running on a Mint system (LTS) for a few months now, and have installed and been using DD successfully for a while.
Today I started it up and noticed there was a notification with link to upgrade to a new version.
Unfortunately, unlike on windows, hitting the link doesn't actually lead to starting the upgrade process, but goes to the general DD on Linux install documentation page.
Instructions for what I believe are applicable to my system are referring to install images which I assume I need to download, but can't find them.
Long story short, can you provide some help on how I may do this?

Thanks for this information!
I'm six minutes into the video, but I wanted to know: do you have a corresponding video for setting up Docker Desktop onto Red Hat distros (to include Rocky Linux)?

From the website I download the Deb package to my Mac downloads location. When I use the command in the Ubuntu machine, it obviously doesn’t work as the location is pointing to the host downloads. How do I download it in the Linux and then specify the location or point it to the host downloads ?

PLEASE, how to you link containers in Docker Desktop without terminal?

[center__feed]

I'm a noob but is this better for inference speed if I installed desktop docker and use frigate nvr with google coral? Installing a barebones Debian or do I need an Ubuntu desktop.

[nikhilhatwar]
