It'll be interesting to see how well this works out for Docker, I have a feeling they'll lose quite a bit of custom but convert some to this model.
I'd guess a lot of people will just use Docker engine on a Linux VM with the CLI on Windows/Mac as that'll work just fine and is open source.
This was kind of inevitable though, ultimately Docker had to find a revenue stream somewhere. Docker Hub must be massively expensive to run and developing docker's product isn't free either...
- syshum 5y agoThere has been a huge push in the community to switch away from docker anyway. The warning signs from the company have been there for awhile and there are several container engine's, systems, UI's and other management tools not built on docker. This will accelerate those programs

- raesene9 5y agoPodman isn't a replacement for Docker Desktop (the products in question here). Podman is closest in function to docker engine, which is still open source.
- syshum 5y agoMy original comment was not just about Docker Desktop. Their Shenanigans around the Docker Desktop commercial product has cost them alot of good will, and support for their other offerings. This is why podman, and others are looking to replace the docker engine which while still open source is tainted by the actions of the parent company
