Docker Desktop terms

Commercial use of Docker Desktop in larger enterprises (more than 250 employees OR more than $10 million USD in annual revenue) requires a paid subscription.

This page contains information on how to install, launch and upgrade Docker Desktop on a Fedora distribution.

Prerequisites

To install Docker Desktop successfully, you must:

Additionally, for a GNOME desktop environment you must install AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem GNOME extensions.

For non-GNOME desktop environments, gnome-terminal must be installed:

$ sudo dnf install gnome-terminal

Install Docker Desktop

To install Docker Desktop on Fedora:

  1. Set up Docker's package repository.

  2. Download latest RPM package.

  3. Install the package with dnf as follows:

    $ sudo dnf install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.rpm

There are a few post-install configuration steps done through the post-install script contained in the RPM package.

The post-install script:

  • Sets the capability on the Docker Desktop binary to map privileged ports and set resource limits.
  • Adds a DNS name for Kubernetes to /etc/hosts.
  • Creates a symlink from /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli to /usr/bin/docker. This is because the classic Docker CLI is installed at /usr/bin/docker. The Docker Desktop installer also installs a Docker CLI binary that includes cloud-integration capabilities and is essentially a wrapper for the Compose CLI, at/usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli. The symlink ensures that the wrapper can access the classic Docker CLI.

Launch Docker Desktop

Upgrade Docker Desktop

Once a new version for Docker Desktop is released, the Docker UI shows a notification. You need to first remove the previous version and then download the new package each time you want to upgrade Docker Desktop. Run:

$ sudo dnf remove docker-desktop
$ sudo dnf install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.rpm
