Docker Desktop has been not free since 2021, and I have been looking for/procrastinating on an alternative. My requirements:
- Free and open source, no vaperware
- I need
docker
not other container technologies docker-compose
is a must- Easy and clean installation. No messing around.
- For local testing only. I don't need a cluster or performance.
- GPU support is nice but CPU is fine.
Much blog surfing later, I decided on https://rancherdesktop.io/, among minikube
, podman
and other highly recommended alternatives.
