The ground keeps shrinking for Docker Inc.

They sold Docker Desktop for Mac, but that might start being less relevant and licenses start to drop.

On Linux there’s just the cli, which they can’t afford to close since people will just move away.

Docker Hub likely can’t compete with the registries built into every other cloud provider.

There is already a paid alternative, Orbstack, for macOS which puts Docker for Mac to shame in terms of usability, features and performance. And then there are open alternatives like Colima.

Use OrbStack for sometime, made my dev team’s m1 run our kubernetes pods in a much lighter fashion. Love it.

How does it compare to Podman, though?

Podman works absolutely beautifully for me, other platforms, I tripped over weird corner cases.

That is why they are now into the reinventing application servers with WebAssembly kind of vibe.

It’s really awful. There’s a certain size at which you can pivot and keep most of your dignity, but for Docker Inc., it’s just ridiculous.
