Docker Desktop4.98.0

Build, run, and share containerized applications from a Windows desktop, bringing container workflows into everyday development. Guided onboarding helps developers create their first containerized application, while the desktop environment supports teams working together on containerized software. Docker Desktop is also offered for Mac and Linux.

Docker Engine provides the runtime for building and running containers. The Docker CLI supplies command-line control for complex commands, automation, and workflow integration. Docker Compose describes multi-container applications in a single configuration file, while Docker Build converts code into container images for development pipelines.

Docker Volumes manages container data for backup, sharing, and migration, and Synchronized File Shares keep host and container files synchronized in real time. Built-in Docker Kubernetes enables local deployment, scaling, testing, and management, including multi-node clusters and developer-selected Kubernetes versions without an external cluster. Docker Debug investigates containers and images by creating slim containers for cases that would otherwise be difficult to inspect. Hardened Docker Desktop adds container isolation, registry and image access controls, and industry-standard compliance features, while VDI Support connects it to virtual desktop infrastructure in managed desktop environments.

Developers use Docker Desktop for local application development, multi-container testing, image creation, pipeline work, and collaboration. The current 4.91.0 release runs on x64 systems with Windows 10 or later or Windows Server 2016 or later. Published by Docker Inc., it is Developer Tools software distributed under a freeware license.
