This changed in the last year, previously docker was free to use personally or at non enterprise scale work/office.
- k8sToGo 5y agoIsn't that only docker desktop? AFAIK docker cli and docker daemon are still free.
- qbasic_forever 5y agoYeah, but there's no release of docker daemon for mac or windows. You have to run a linux VM and install and use it there. Docker desktop basically wraps that VM process up into a little gui app. If you're willing to do it yourself then yeah a simple virtualbox VM can run docker without issues or license fees.
- girvo 5y agoI guess it’s time to go back to the old boot2docker xhyve setup I used to have!
- dicknuckle 5y agoor just use Podman.
- DangitBobby 5y agoFrom what I read, the "Personal" $0 tier still has "small businesses" listed, and the little info tooltip for Docker Desktop also explicitly mentions "small businesses." This can be found at the very bottom of that page: > Docker Desktop can be used for free as part of a Docker Personal subscription for: small companies (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in annual revenue), personal use, education, and non-commercial open source projects.
