When I was first learning to use Docker, I didn’t realize that most tutorials that include a database don’t configure the database to persist. Imagine my surprise when I couldn’t figure out why the database kept getting wiped!

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.
Podman is great and now is compatible with the docker engine. Having rootless containers by default is awesome! There’s also a utility called podman-compose that I also highly recommend.
I can vouch for podman. It can run daemonless and rootless, symlinks to docker.sock and the ui works with both kubernetes (kind & minikube) and most of the docker desktop extensions.
A workmate mentioned it to me recently. Fortunately, our company does buy the license. Will be contacting the team responsible for it on Monday.
My manager is very forgetful, so not surprised he didn’t mention it.
