Might be a similar issue for ECR.
Its CLI is similar/same as docker
I would have been a docker desktop user for years but the one time I went to install it they required me to create an account to get to the download.
I never understood what the point of Docker Desktop was on Windows if WSL exists.
if you don't want a command line, docker itself (the underlying utility that the docker-desktop GUI drives) is free, in contrast to the GUI portion. Or kubernetes.
so the direct answer is "brew install docker".
"brew install docker" is just another way to install Docker Desktop. It does not run Docker natively on MacOS, because that is impossible.
No, it's not! that would be "brew install homebrew/cask/docker". As you can see here!
https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/docker
This is the docker CLI utility, ie "brew install docker" which is what I said:
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker
Again, please actually look at the commands you are referencing before spreading misinformation, you are confidently incorrect and being rude about it.
Not only that but the information you are providing has legal implications because these two (completely different!) pieces of software have different licensing... docker-desktop is commercial license, not open-source!
You clearly do not understand the distinction here between the docker CLI utility and backend, and the docker GUI application, and it's very important here.
rancher-desktop is the equivalent to docker-desktop, ie the commercial portion, and docker itself can be used freely because it is (as I said) open source.
There is no apt on macOS.
