RPM package{: .button .primary-btn }

Prerequisites

To install Docker Desktop successfully, you must:

Additionally, for a Gnome Desktop environment you must install AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Gnome extensions{:target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""}.

For non-Gnome Desktop environments, gnome-terminal must be installed:

$ sudo dnf install gnome-terminal

Install Docker Desktop

To install Docker Desktop on Fedora:

  1. Set up Docker's package repository.

  2. Download latest RPM package.

  3. Install the package with dnf as follows:

$ sudo dnf install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.rpm

There are a few post-install configuration steps done through the post-install script contained in the RPM package.

The post-install script:

  • Sets the capability on the Docker Desktop binary to map privileged ports and set resource limits.
  • Adds a DNS name for Kubernetes to /etc/hosts.
  • Creates a link from /usr/bin/docker to /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli.

Launch Docker Desktop

{% include desktop-linux-launch.md %}

Upgrade Docker Desktop

Once a new version for Docker Desktop is released, the Docker UI shows a notification. You need to first remove the previous version and then download the new package each time you want to upgrade Docker Desktop. Run:

$ sudo dnf remove docker-desktop
$ sudo dnf install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.rpm
