Appreciate the follow-up. That is good information. I ended up getting an Ubuntu machine setup running on native hardware in order to test Docker Desktop. The new file sharing mechanism is pretty complex and I haven’t gotten Polar working with it just yet. So for the time being, Docker Desktop isn’t supported. I will continue trying to find a solution.
How did you get Polar to use Docker engined vs Docker desktop after removing docker desktop?
Here is the answer:
The issue is that during the installation a wrong entry in ~/.docker/config.json was created.
Namely credsStore instead of credStore.
Just change the entry in ~/.docker/config.json like this, and you’re good to go:
{ “stackOrchestrator” : “swarm”, “experimental” : “disabled”, “credStore” : “desktop” }
