Anyone had success installing Docker Desktop in Bluefin-DX?

I tried yesterday to install Docker Desktop just for the sake of following and exploring the workflow of devcontainers development.

Well, it turns out that installing Docker Desktop is not an easy feat.
This what I have tried:

  1. Looked for Docker Desktop candidate with rpm-ostree docker. There is no Desktop there.
  2. Tried twice installing Docker Desktop in an Ubuntu 22.04 distrobox. It fails because the DD installation requires that the docker-ce package be present. I tried then to fool the distrobox to execute docker from the host, which is available in Bluefin-DX. No success. The distrobox wants the package present in its database.

Has anyone been able to install Docker Desktop out there?

Yeah it’s really overly complex - I know the Docker desktop team is working on a making a flatpak so hopefully they’ll get that up and going soon.

Podman Desktop (which is in flathub) will also work with Docker, and there’s also headlamp:
