Dockershim not needed: Docker Desktop with Kubernetes 1.24+
Docker Desktop includes Kubernetes, optimized and tuned for a fast, distraction-free developer experience. We track upstream Kubernetes changes and manage Kubernetes upgrades so developers can focus on their code rather than cluster administration. Lots of people have been asking us about the removal of a component called “dockershim” from upstream Kubernetes and how this will…

How Docker Desktop Networking Works Under the Hood
Modern applications make extensive use of networks. At build time it’s common to apt-get/dnf/yum/apk install a package from a Linux distribution’s package repository. At runtime an application may wish to connect() to an internal postgres or mysql database to persist some state, while also calling listen() and accept() to expose APIs and UIs over TCP…

Capturing Logs in Docker Desktop
Docker Desktop runs a Virtual Machine to host Docker containers. Each component within the VM (including the Docker engine itself) runs as a separate isolated container. This extra layer of isolation introduces an interesting new problem: how do we capture all the logs so we can include them in Docker Desktop diagnostic reports?

Addressing Time Drift in Docker Desktop for Mac
Docker Desktop for Mac runs the Docker engine and Linux containers in a helper LinuxKit VM since macOS doesn’t have native container support. The helper VM has its own internal clock, separate from the host’s clock. When the two clocks drift apart then suddenly commands which rely on the time, or on file timestamps, may start…
