Starting October 2024 I have to teach a class about Docker and (very basic) Kubernetes. As far as I can tell, Docker Desktop will be my best choice for the students.
I took a peek at the product page on the Docker website:
The “Download for Linux” link redirects to an information page. According to that page, Docker Desktop is available for Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL and Fedora.
When you click on the link, you are told that “Docker Desktop on RHEL is in Early Access”.
No download link to be found, and I just spent the best part of an hour trying to figure out how to get this “Early Access”. On a side note, I do have a free account at Docker (to login and push Docker images).
Has anyone figured out how to get early access and how to download the Docker Desktop RPM for RHEL (versions 8 & 9) ?
Cheers,
Niki
PS : yes, I know how to use plain Docker. No, I’m not interested in Podman Desktop. I need Docker Desktop precisely.
This is probably a better question to ask on the Docker forums - they might even be able to tell you how you can get that early access if it’s not clear on the docker site. TBH most people here will use Podman anyway because it’s included by default. Docker doesn’t even have a native rpm for RHEL, although we could say that the CentOS one would suffice.
But, I realise you want docker, hence best place to ask would be the docker forums since only they are more likely to know how you can gain access to it.
