Docker desktop, unlike the docker command line tool and dockerd server, is not free software, and isn't even source available. It also transmits a HUGE amount of sensitive data about your system to Docker without your consent, so it's spyware.

I can't really recommend avoiding this software any higher than I do. If you work on any sort of private codebases or under NDA, this thing is a liability magnet.

Install the free software command line tool via a package manager (not brew, that one is also spyware) and set

    DOCKER_HOST="ssh://[email protected]"
in your environment.

Don't develop with nonfree software and tools.
