<!-- This text will be included in the Docker Desktop install topic for each Linux distribution -->
|
||
|
||
To start Docker Desktop for Linux, search **Docker Desktop** on the
|
||
**Applications** menu and open it. This launches the Docker menu icon and opens
|
||
the Docker Dashboard, reporting the status of Docker Desktop.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, open a terminal and run:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ systemctl --user start docker-desktop
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
When Docker Desktop starts, it creates a dedicated [context](/engine/context/working-with-contexts) that the Docker CLI
|
||
can use as a target and sets it as the current context in use. This is to avoid
|
||
a clash with a local Docker Engine that may be running on the Linux host and
|
||
using the default context. On shutdown, Docker Desktop resets the current
|
||
context to the previous one.
|
||
|
||
The Docker Desktop installer updates Docker Compose and the Docker CLI binaries
|
||
on the host. It installs Docker Compose V2 and gives users the choice to
|
||
link it as docker-compose from the Settings panel. Docker Desktop installs
|
||
the new Docker CLI binary that includes cloud-integration capabilities in `/usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli`
|
||
and creates a symlink to the classic Docker CLI at `/usr/local/bin`.
|
||
|
||
After you’ve successfully installed Docker Desktop, you can check the versions
|
||
of these binaries by running the following commands:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ docker compose version
|
||
Docker Compose version v2.17.3
|
||
|
||
$ docker --version
|
||
Docker version 23.0.5, build bc4487a
|
||
|
||
$ docker version
|
||
Client: Docker Engine - Community
|
||
Cloud integration: v1.0.31
|
||
Version: 23.0.5
|
||
API version: 1.42
|
||
<...>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To enable Docker Desktop to start on login, from the Docker menu, select
|
||
**Settings** > **General** > **Start Docker Desktop when you log in**.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, open a terminal and run:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ systemctl --user enable docker-desktop
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To stop Docker Desktop, select the Docker menu icon to open the Docker menu and select **Quit Docker Desktop**.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, open a terminal and run:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ systemctl --user stop docker-desktop
|
||
``` |
