Docker Desktop is licensed:

Docker Desktop is a licensed software. It is licensed under the Docker Subscription Service Agreement. The agreement states that Docker Desktop is free for personal use, education, and non-commercial open source projects. Otherwise, it requires a paid subscription for professional use. Paid subscriptions are also required for government entities.

The following are the requirements for free use of Docker Desktop:

• Individuals

• Non-commercial open source developers

• Students and educators

• Small businesses of fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in revenue

Alternatives:

If you want to use Docker CLI/Engine for free, you can use Colima or Rancher. Both projects are free to use and offer similar functionality.

• Docker CLI/Engine is the command-line interface for Docker. It is free to use.

• Colima is an open source project that allows you to run Docker Engine in a virtual machine. It is free to use.

• Rancher is a commercial project that provides a web-based interface for managing Docker Engine. However, Rancher also offers a free community edition that allows you to use Docker Engine for free.

Installing Colima:

Colima is an open source project that provides a way to run Docker Engine on macOS and Linux without the need for Docker Desktop. It is a lightweight alternative to Docker Desktop that offers similar functionality.

To use Docker Engine with Colima, you will need to install the following:

• Docker Engine

• Colima

You can install Docker Engine using the following commands:

• macOS: brew install docker

• Linux: apt install docker

You can install Colima using the following commands:

• macOS: brew install colima

• Linux: pip install colima

Once you have installed Docker Engine and Colima, you can start using Docker by running the following command:

colima start

This will start a Docker Engine VM in the background. You can then run Docker commands by using the docker command.

Configuring Colima for Bahmni:

Update the CPU settings and Memory settings as follows:

colima start --edit

# Number of CPUs to be allocated to the virtual machine.
# Default: 2
cpu: 8

# Size of the memory in GiB to be allocated to the virtual machine.
# Default: 2
memory: 12
