What's missing to fully replace Docker Desktop?

jchw 3y ago
Nothing for me: I use it as a Docker Desktop replacement at the moment. There aren't so many complex docker-compose setups I have to deal with, but everything works about as expected. (Although honestly most of the time I'm using Podman it's on native Linux, so I don't use 99% of the stuff that's there anyway.)

That depends on what you need. For most people and use cases you can replace it with something like Rancher Desktop [1]. But, there are use cases and situations where you needed Docker Desktop. Disclaimer, I started Rancher Desktop. [1] https://rancherdesktop.io/ https://rancherdesktop.io/

  I switched from podman to Rancher Desktop at work recently, and it's been a very smooth experience - thank you for your work!

I've been using Podman Desktop in Win11 for local development for about 6 months and I'd say nothing.

  Nothing good? Nothing bad? I mean... if you're going to say nothing at all, no need to announce it...

Lazydocker is all you need to replace docker desktop

  When I was running Docker Desktop on Windows, I never used the GUI. Instead I always ran commands (docker or docker-compose) on the command line. In that case, the major benefit to Docker Desktop was having it set up the Linux VM that you run Docker on. That is a huge benefit. Lazydocker is awesome, though. Thanks for introducing it to me. I just installed it and I'm loving it. I've used Portainer in the past, but didn't like it enough to leave it running continuously.
