Docker Desktop 4.12.0

2022-09-01

Download Docker Desktop

{% include desktop-install.html %}

New

  • Added the ability to use containerd for pulling and storing images. This is an experimental feature.
  • Docker Desktop now runs untagged images. Fixes docker/for-mac#6425.
  • Added search capabilities to Docker Extension's Marketplace. Fixes docker/roadmap#346.
  • Added the ability to zoom in, out or set Docker Desktop to Actual Size. This is done by using keyboard shortcuts ⌘ + / CTRL +, ⌘ - / CTRL -, ⌘ 0 / CTRL 0 on Mac and Windows respectively, or through the View menu on Mac.
  • Added compose stop button if any related container is stoppable.
  • Individual compose containers are now deletable from the Container view.
  • Removed the workaround for virtiofsd <-> qemu protocol mismatch on Fedora 35, as it is no longer needed. Fedora 35 users should upgrade the qemu package to the most recent version (qemu-6.1.0-15.fc35 as of the time of writing).
  • Implemented an integrated terminal for containers.
  • Added a tooltip to display the link address for all external links by default.

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

For all platforms

  • Compose V2 is now enabled after factory reset.
  • Compose V2 is now enabled by default on new installations of Docker Desktop.
  • Precedence order of environment variables in Compose is more consistent, and clearly documented.
  • Upgraded kernel to 5.10.124.
  • Improved overall performance issues caused by calculating disk size. Related to docker/for-win#9401.
  • Docker Desktop now prevents users on ARM macs without Rosetta installed from switching back to Compose V1, which has only intel binaries.
  • Changed the default sort order to descending for volume size and the Created column, along with the container's Started column.
  • Re-organized container row actions by keeping only the start/stop and delete actions visible at all times, while allowing access to the rest via the row menu item.
  • The Quickstart guide now runs every command immediately.
  • Defined the sort order for container/compose Status column to running > some running > paused > some paused > exited > some exited > created.
  • Fixed issues with the image list appearing empty in Docker Desktop even though there are images. Related to docker/for-win#12693 and docker/for-mac#6347.
  • Defined what images are "in use" based on whether or not system containers are displayed. If system containers related to Kubernetes and Extensions are not displayed, the related images are not defined as "in use."
  • Fixed a bug that made Docker clients in some languages hang on docker exec. Fixes https://github.com/apocas/dockerode/issues/534.
  • A failed spawned command when building an extension no longer causes Docker Desktop to unexpectedly quit.
  • Fixed a bug that caused extensions to be displayed as disabled in the left menu when they are not.
  • Fixed docker login to private registries when Registry Access Management is enabled and access to Docker Hub is blocked.
  • Fixed a bug where Docker Desktop fails to start the Kubernetes cluster if the current cluster metadata is not stored in the .kube/config file.
  • Updated the tooltips in Docker Desktop and MUI theme package to align with the overall system design.
  • Copied terminal contents do not contain non-breaking spaces anymore.

For Mac

  • Minimum version to install or update Docker Desktop on macOS is now 10.15. Fixes docker/for-mac#6007.
  • Fixed a bug where the Tray menu incorrectly displays "Download will start soon..." after downloading the update. Fixes some issue reported in for-mac/issues#5677
  • Fixed a bug that didn't restart Docker Desktop after applying an update.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the connection to Docker to be lost when the computer sleeps if a user is using virtualization.framework and restrictive firewall software.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Docker Desktop to run in the background even after a user had quit the application. Fixes [https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6440]
  • Disabled both Virtualization Framework and VirtioFS for users running macOS < 12.5

For Windows

  • Fixed a bug where versions displayed during an update could be incorrect. Fixes for-win/issues#12822.

Security

For all platforms

  • Fix RCE via query parameters in the message-box route in the Electron client.
  • Fix RCE via extension description/changelog which could be abused by a malicious extension.

For Windows

  • Fixed a bypass for the --no-windows-containers installation flag which was introduced in version 4.11. This flag allows administrators to disable the use of Windows containers.
  • Fixed the argument injection to the Docker Desktop installer which may result in local privilege escalation.

    For Windows

    • Fixed an issue that caused new installations to default to the Hyper-V backend instead of WSL 2.
    • Fixed a crash in the Docker Dashboard which would make the systray menu disappear.

    If you are running Docker Desktop on Windows Home, installing 4.5.1 will switch it back to WSL 2 automatically.

    Known issues

    For Windows

    Installing Docker Desktop 4.5.0 from scratch has a bug which defaults Docker Desktop to use the Hyper-V backend instead of WSL 2. This means, Windows Home users will not be able to start Docker Desktop as WSL 2 is the only supported backend. To work around this issue, you must uninstall 4.5.0 from your machine and then download and install Docker Desktop 4.5.1 or a higher version. Alternatively, you can edit the Docker Desktop settings.json file located at %APPDATA%\Docker\settings.json and manually switch the value of the wslEngineEnabled field to true.

    • Fixed CVE-2021-45449 that affects users currently on Docker Desktop version 4.3.0 or 4.3.1.

    Docker Desktop version 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 has a bug that may log sensitive information (access token or password) on the user's machine during login. This only affects users if they are on Docker Desktop 4.3.0, 4.3.1 and the user has logged in while on 4.3.0, 4.3.1. Gaining access to this data would require having access to the user’s local files.

    New

    • Easy, Secure sign in with Auth0 and Single Sign-on
      • Single Sign-on: Users with a Docker Business subscription can now configure SSO to authenticate using their identity providers (IdPs) to access Docker. For more information, see Single Sign-on.
      • Signing in to Docker Desktop now takes you through the browser so that you get all the benefits of auto-filling from password managers.

    Upgrades

    Bug fixes and minor changes

    For all platforms

    • Docker Desktop displays an error if registry.json contains more than one organization in the allowedOrgs field. If you are using multiple organizations for different groups of developers, you must provision a separate registry.json file for each group.
    • Fixed a regression in Compose that reverted the container name separator from - to _. Fixes docker/compose-switch.

    For Mac

    • Fixed the memory statistics for containers in the Dashboard. Fixes docker/for-mac/#4774.
    • Added a deprecated option to settings.json: "deprecatedCgroupv1": true, which switches the Linux environment back to cgroups v1. If your software requires cgroups v1, you should update it to be compatible with cgroups v2. Although cgroups v1 should continue to work, it is likely that some future features will depend on cgroups v2. It is also possible that some Linux kernel bugs will only be fixed with cgroups v2.
    • Fixed an issue where putting the machine to Sleep mode after pausing Docker Desktop results in Docker Desktop not being able to resume from pause after the machine comes out of Sleep mode. Fixes for-mac#6058.

    For Windows

    • Doing a Reset to factory defaults no longer shuts down Docker Desktop.

    For Mac

    • Fixed an issue that caused Docker Desktop to stop responding upon clicking Exit on the fatal error dialog.
    • Fixed a rare startup failure affecting users having a docker volume bind-mounted on top of a directory from the host. If existing, this fix will also remove manually user added DENY DELETE ACL entries on the corresponding host directory.
    • Fixed a bug where a Docker.qcow2 file would be ignored on upgrade and a fresh Docker.raw used instead, resulting in containers and images disappearing. Note that if a system has both files (due to the previous bug) then the most recently modified file will be used, to avoid recent containers and images disappearing again. To force the use of the old Docker.qcow2, delete the newer Docker.raw file. Fixes docker/for-mac#5998.
    • Fixed a bug where subprocesses could fail unexpectedly during shutdown, triggering an unexpected fatal error popup. Fixes docker/for-mac#5834.

    For Windows

    • Fixed Docker Desktop sometimes hanging when clicking Exit in the fatal error dialog.
    • Fixed an issue that frequently displayed the Download update popup when an update has been downloaded but hasn't been applied yet docker/for-win#12188.

    When upgrading from 4.1.0, the Docker menu does not change to Update and restart so you can just wait for the download to complete (icon changes) and then select Restart. This bug is fixed in 4.1.1, for future upgrades.

    • Fixed a bug where a Docker.qcow2 file would be ignored on upgrade and a fresh Docker.raw used instead, resulting in containers and images disappearing. If a system has both files (due to the previous bug), then the most recently modified file will be used to avoid recent containers and images disappearing again. To force the use of the old Docker.qcow2, delete the newer Docker.raw file. Fixes docker/for-mac#5998.
    • Fixed the update notification overlay sometimes getting out of sync between the Settings button and the Software update button in the Docker Dashboard.
