Install the Newest Docker Desktop version 4.38.0

Docker released a New Docker Desktop version 4.38.0 with new features:

• nstalling Docker Desktop via the PKG installer is now generally available.
• Enforcing sign-in via configuration profiles is now generally available.
• Docker Compose, Docker Scout, the Docker CLI, and Ask Gordon can now be updated independently of Docker Desktop and without a full restart (Beta).
• The new update command has been added to the Docker Desktop CLI (Mac only).
• Bake is now generally available, with support for entitlements and composable attributes.
• You can now create multi-node Kubernetes clusters in Docker Desktop.
• Ask Gordon is more widely available. It is still in Beta.

In the following steps I’m upgrading my Docker Desktop Kubernetes 1-Node Cluster to a 4-Node Kubernetes Cluster:

Go to Settings in Docker Desktop and click on Kubernetes

Click on Kind.
Here you can select the Kubernetes version and how much nodes you need.

IMPORTANT: This will create a new Kubernetes Cluster!
(the old 1-node cluster will be gone)

When you have “Show System Containers” in Settings at Kubernetes on
then you see these 4-Nodes here in VSCode.

Happy Coding

Docker for Windows Update

When you want to work with containers and Microsoft Visual Studio Code
Docker Desktop for Windows is awesome to work with on your pc. Docker Desktop is a one-click-install application for your Mac, Linux, or Windows environment that lets you build, share, and run containerized applications and microservices. You can work with docker container images from Hub here
But you can also work with Docker Desktop for Windows Kubernetes containers.
I like to work with Docker Desktop for Windows because it’s easy to manage and updates works fine with good documentation on fixes and changes.
