It enables you to build, push, pull and run Linux containers on Microsoft Windows, by providing a seamless integration with Docker Engine Community Edition running on Windows Subsystem for Linux. The Container Desktop bundles the open-source docker and docker-compose cli clients for a native and simple user experience.\r\n\r\n## How it works?\r\n\r\n![](docs/static/img/container-desktop-overview.png)\r\n\r\nContainer Desktop Proxy handles the communication with the Docker Engine running in container-desktop distribution within Windows System Linux v2 (WSL2). The proxy enables native docker experience on Microsoft Windows, where it translates Windows Paths to WSL2 paths local to the container-desktop distribution.\r\n\r\nWith the Container Desktop System Tray Application you can manage the behavior of container-desktop. You can start, stop and restart the Container Desktop Proxy on the Windows Host or Enable or Disable a Docker Engine proxy in any available WSL2 distribution.\r\nContainer Desktop installs the docker and the docker-compose command line interface tools.\r\n\r\n\u003e Note: Container Desktop will not support Windows Containers.\r\n\r\n## Supported features\r\n\r\n* Run Docker daemon in its own distribution\r\n* Use 'docker' and 'docker-compose' cli on Windows and enabled WSL2 Distributions to connect to the daemon. \r\n* You can use Windows paths as volumes, the container-desktop-proxy translates these paths to WSL2 paths local to the daemon distribution\r\n* Start/stop/restart and quit Container Desktop by right clicking on the icon in the system tray.\r\n* Enable container-desktop integration in installed WSL2 distributions.\r\n* Use Port Forwarding to expose containers on a specific network. \r\n* Configure DNS Mode for Container Desktop (WLS2/Primary Network Adapter/Static).\r\n\r\n## Installation\r\n\r\n**System requirements**\r\n\r\nContainer Desktop requires WLS2 which is supported on these Windows versions:\r\n\r\n* Microsoft Windows 10, Version 1903 with Build 18362.1049 or higher\r\n* Microsoft Windows 10, Version 1909 with Build 18363.1049 or higher\r\n* Microsoft Windows 10, Version 2004 or higher (20H2,21H1, 21H2, ..)\r\n* Microsoft Windows 11, any version or build\r\n\r\n**Installation Steps**\r\n\r\n1. If you currently have docker-desktop installed, you need to **quit** *\"Docker Desktop\"*.\r\n2. Download the latest [Release](https://github.com/container-desktop/container-desktop/releases)\r\n3. (optional) Validate the file checksum  with the values in sha256sum.txt\r\n\r\n    ```powershell\r\n    Get-FileHash .\\ContainerDesktopInstaller.exe -Algorithm SHA256\r\n    ```\r\n\r\n3. StartContainerDesktopInstaller.exe and click install to start the installation.\r\n\r\n\u003e Note: Windows Defender SmartScreen may pop-up and prevent StartContainerDesktopInstaller.exe from starting. When this is the case do the following: please select \"More Info\" and Select \"Run Anyway\".\r\n\r\n## Build\r\n\r\n**Pre-requisites**\r\n\r\n* Microsoft Windows with Powershell\r\n* [.NET 8 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0)\r\n* Docker (either container-desktop or docker-for-desktop)\r\n\r\n**Build**\r\n\r\n1. Clone this repo 'git clone \u003chttps://github.com/container-desktop/container-desktop.git\u003e'\r\n2. Inside the container-desktop folder run '.\\build.ps1'\r\n\r\n## Credits\r\n\r\nContainer Desktop is made possible by using the following great projects:\r\n\r\n* [Command Line Parser Library](https://github.com/commandlineparser/commandline)\r\n* [Docker.DotNet](https://github.com/dotnet/Docker.DotNet)\r\n* [Hardcodet NotifyIcon for WPF](https://github.com/hardcodet/wpf-notifyicon)\r\n* [Managed DismApi Wrapper](https://github.com/jeffkl/ManagedDism)\r\n* [ModernWPF UI Library](https://github.com/Kinnara/ModernWpf)\r\n* [Nerdbank.GitVersioning](https://github.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning)\r\n* [Json.NET](https://www.newtonsoft.com/json)\r\n* [P/Invoke](https://github.com/dotnet/pinvoke)\r\n* [Serilog](https://serilog.net/)\r\n* [System.IO.Abstractions](https://github.com/System-IO-Abstractions/System.IO.Abstractions)\r\n* [Reactive Extensions](https://github.com/dotnet/reactive)\r\n* [CompareNetObject](https://github.com/GregFinzer/Compare-Net-Objects)\r\n* [AvalonEdit](https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvalonEdit)\r\n* [NuGet.Versioning](https://github.com/NuGet/Home)\r\n* [Docker CLI](https://github.com/docker/cli)\r\n* [Docker Compose CLI](https://github.com/docker/compose-cli)\r\n* [The Moby Project](https://github.com/moby/moby)\r\n* [go-dnsmasq](https://github.com/janeczku/go-dnsmasq)\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcontainer-desktop%2Fcontainer-desktop","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcontainer-desktop%2Fcontainer-desktop","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcontainer-desktop%2Fcontainer-desktop/lists"}
