Using Docker Desktop at work without a license. Use Rancher Desktop instead. It's essentially like what Oracle did with the Oracle JDK. To my knowledge they haven't gone after anyone but it is technically a license violation to use it for work without a license. I could not (easily) find a way to install Docker on Mac without using Docker Desktop but Rancher Desktop worked fine.
Also, podman exists as a drop in replacement for Docker for the curious. I haven't tried it myself though so this isn't a recommendation.
Interesting — coming from the Linux world where docker is an 'apt install' away, I struggled with docker installation on Mac and settled on their client because of various “gotchas” I saw online. And even then got pissed because the client overwrote my local 'kubectl' bin.
Guess I’ll have to reevaluate.
Podman is just as easy to install--admittedly they give way more support for Ubuntu and Fedora than other platforms (unfortunately). But once you've switched, you won't go back; it really is a 'seemless' transition, and you can use the same dockerfiles and docker-compose files with it.
