How do I install and run docker containers on windows without docker desktop? I’ve made attempts in the past but never actually succeeded, and just enddd up using docker desktop.

Step 1. Uninstall docker Desktop completely (and images and builds and storage and containers) and reboot. Step 2. Install Rancher Desktop.

If you also need docker emulation with podman too

Step 3. Install Podman Step 4. Install Podman Desktop.

Now a. Either work with Rancher Desktop (open it) and Docker is available also in cmd line (docker, docker ccompose , etc) b. Or Start Podman Desktop to configure Podman (or just use comandline to configure)

Now in cmd you not only have docker and friends but also podman and friends

Bonus, you have Kubernetes tools too and you are FOSS.

Happy composing :-)

PS: I think you cannot start both. I have both installed and never looked back. Windows 10 x64 PRO
