The dockerd socket is important because many tools (e.g. In summary, if you’re in to containers or Kubernetes than Rancher Desktop is worth taking for a spin. These are the kinds of things to decide on for yourself in your own review.

User Interface to port forward services in Kubernetes 6 Without further ado, here is a brief summary comparison: FeatureĬhoose the version of Kubernetes you want to use So, I am talking about one of my projects when I write this up. In full disclosure, I started Rancher Desktop. These days it’s possible for many to use Rancher Desktop as a replacement for Docker Desktop. For example, being able to build a container image and then use it in Kubernetes without an OCI registry in the loop. The container focused features came over time from end users with needs around Kubernetes. Building and running containers were not in the initial road map. When it began, it was all about Kubernetes and ones experience using Kubernetes on the desktop. Rancher Desktop didn’t start out on a path to be in a comparison with Docker Desktop. They’ve done a lot of subtle work that I’ve learned to appreciate. Having worked on a cross platform container desktop app, I’ve learned about so many nuances you have to deal with. They are incredibly talented and have made it better than I imagined.įirst, I need to say what respect I have for the people who have worked on Docker Desktop. Note, there is an amazing team working on it now. As I have moved off of Rancher Desktop to work on other things at SUSE, I figure now is a good time to write up some of my thoughts.
I’ve been regularly asked about comparisons between Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop.
