macOS obviously has the capability to reinstall Docker. If your company is preventing you from upgrading to the fixed version in timely manner, that's your company's responsibility.
- JohnMakin 2y agoPerhaps you should inform yourself about the actual problem/proposed solution here - the issue isnt installing a fresh new version, it’s the uninstallation steps required to even get there in the first place. and no, mac os will not let me do this, even when I follow the prompts. docker’s elevated permission scripted solution is the only thing that has worked yet.
- soraminazuki 2y agoLooking at the incident page, the bash solution was superseded by a proper release the next day. And the linked document specifically instructs to "update directly through the app" if possible [1]. So uninstall not working is completely news for most people reading this thread. Even the title of this thread, "Docker Desktop Broken on Mac OS Update for over a Week," isn't substantiated anywhere else. But even if it is required to manually stop and remove the two daemons, shouldn't that be doable using any device management solution? Perhaps using something like Jamf Self Service? Because it otherwise wouldn't be possible to deploy any changes without that kind of capability.

- JohnMakin 2y agoTheir proposed solution didn't work on many of my fleet's devices. I had to go deep into a reddit thread + stackoverflow comment to figure out a proper mitigation for several devices, and it involved extremely invasive/terrible things to remediate. Their fix doesn't even work for everyone, and they're clearly prioritizing paying customers for that kind of support. Like, fine, but don't publish a status that says "operational" when your "fix" is so slipshod as this. Just absolutely embarrassing, in my candid opinion. I know enough to fix this on any device but it isnt just a singular problem local to myself, and they haven't exactly been communicative about the root cause or very helpful to anyone that isn't paying them a lot of money. Like, I understand its "open" source "free"ware and YMMV there, but this kind of thing is entirely preventable most likely. There are so many viable alternatives to docker desktop that this has finally made me jump ship. There's no possible way this isn't a sinking ship, in my opinion. The writing has been on the wall for a while.
