I was forced into using some kind of Docker thing at my last job, where I looked into the license and it starts out:
"Docker Desktop is free for small businesses (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in annual revenue), personal use, education, and non-commercial open source projects."
I think that's reasonable, but it's hard for me to believe everyone's paying when they should be. I set up podman instead and I haven't had any major issues.
- hkwerf 2y agoThis is only for Docker Desktop. The Docker Engine itself is free (AFAIK). If you're on Linux, you probably don't care about Docker Desktop at all.
- hedora 2y agoThere are many decent alternatives for MacOS too. I had good luck with minikube a few years ago. This article seems decent, based on my previous research: https://dev.to/shohams/5-alternatives-to-docker-desktop-46am https://dev.to/shohams/5-alternatives-to-docker-desktop-46am I don’t use windows, put presumably you can just use their built in linux environment and docker cli.
- camgunz 2y agoYeah I'm on a Mac. Uh, you know I really had a memory of homebrew getting things out of the .app or something, but I really can't find any evidence that was ever the case. I blame sleep deprivation, this is like the 13th blunder I've made this week haha.
- colechristensen 2y agoDocker Desktop is the only thing that has that license. Every time someone mentions docker I have to be annoying and make sure they didn't mean they installed Docker Desktop. Docker just needs to be open source software, there's no real revenue model that makes sense, but damn they're trying. Now I guess dockerhub is also just off the table.
