Docker Desktop on Linux? (piefed.zip)

After trying out Cosmos Cloud (and it not working for the clients), I'm back at square one again. I was going to install Docker Desktop, but I see it warns that it runs on a VM. Will this be a problem when trying to remote connect to certain services, like Mealie or Jellyfin?

docker runs native on Linux. you run docker desktop on windows and Mac because they don't have Linux runtimes that can run docker.

docker desktop would be useless for Linux.

learn the command line scrub. better now than never.

    Ye no. Im a cli boy and even still i use podman desktop for my podman containers on my pc.
    A good gui goes a long way for something that has a gazillion parameters. But also, you will take my git cli from my cold dead hands god damnit

    Maybe OP does not want to spend time to learn something that only has one use case for them. Maybe OP has external factors that forces the use of Docker Desktop.

    Be nicer.

    container management is just the tip of selfhosting with docker.

    learning the CLI will go a long way to help themselves later when they need to learn it to fix something the UI doesn't handle well.

    Be nicer.

    would you have preferred noob?

    learning the CLI will go a long way to help themselves later when they need to learn it to fix something the UI doesn’t handle well.

    I agree with you on this, but we don't now the constraints of OP. Perhaps the mentioned clients need access. Ask instead of assume.

    would you have preferred noob?

    I have no problem with other people's level of knowledge, be it greater or lesser than mine. I have a problem with how you conveyed your message. Here is how you could have phrased it instead, as an example of what I meant with "be nicer".

    Learn the command line, it will more than likley be of great help in the future. Better now than never.
