No, I’m not confusing requiring a DockerHub account to even install Docker. Though that is an excellent example of it’s non-openness, thank you.

- mardifoufs 3y agoWhat? That's just completely wrong. Even for docker desktop (which is completely different from docker engine) you don't need an account
- righthand 3y agoIt appears they have since reverted the decision in 2020 but it used to require logging in for Docker Engine: https://github.com/docker/docs/issues/6910 https://github.com/docker/docs/issues/6910 I did not know this as I stopped using Docker long ago.
- mardifoufs 3y agoOh yeah to be clear, I absolutely agree that docker desktop as a whole is a mess especially since they keep introducing more ways to tie it up to docker hub etc. I wouldn't use it unless I'm on windows. So yes, avoid docker desktop but docker (the engine) itself is thankfully completely separate from docker desktop.
