Docker is the world's most popular container storage solution. This course covers everything you need to know to install and configure Docker on Mac, Windows, and Linux, as well as cloud-based environments such as Amazon Web Services. It also helps Docker Certified Associate (DCA) candidates prepare for the certification exam. In this course, virtualization expert David Davis shows how to install Docker, set up a repository, configure logging, manage users, understand namespaces, and protect your data. He also covers features that ship with Docker Enterprise, including the Universal Control Plane and Trusted Registry. Plus, get important tips you'll need to prepare for the Docker Certified Associate (DCA) exam.

Docker for Mac contains the Docker container engine and one thing that I should clarify about Docker for Mac is that you can run Docker Linux containers on Docker for Mac, not Docker Mac applications, those Docker Linux containers are actually run on top of a thin hypervisor from Docker called Hyperkit.
To get started installing Docker for Mac, click on the Docker Store and then simply click Get Docker. Docker for Mac is totally free and in fact, I've already downloaded Docker for Mac, so let's walk through a quick installation. Here's the Docker DMG.
I'll just double click that. We can simply drag and drop the Docker icon here into our Applications folder. I'll execute Docker. You can see the Docker whale icon is up here. It tells us that Docker is starting. With Docker for Mac installed, if we go into the Preferences I do want to point out that we're using the Docker for.
Yes, “Docker CE (Community Edition)” is the same as “Docker Desktop” and yes, this all sounds confusing. But: Docker CE for Mac is an easy-to-install desktop app for building, debugging, and testing Dockerized apps on a Mac. Docker for Mac is a complete development environment deeply integrated with the Mac OS Hypervisor framework, networking, and filesystem. Docker for Mac is the fastest and most reliable way to run Docker on a Mac.
The naming is horrible to be honest. There is also “Docker Toolbox” which is not a packaged Mac app but rather is a pure command line tool that—I believe—predates Docker Desktop: Docker Toolbox installs docker, docker-compose, and docker-machine in /usr/local/bin on your Mac. It also installs VirtualBox. At installation time, Toolbox uses docker-machine to provision a VirtualBox VM called default, running the boot2docker Linux distribution, with Docker Engine with certificates located on your Mac at $HOME/.docker/machine/machines/default. The concussion also seems to come from the fact that there is a “Docker EE (Enterprise Edition)” that is basically like the CE (Community Edition) but is a “Containers-as-a-Service” setup. Honestly, answering this question has made me less confused about Docker options for Mac, but honestly more dizzy and—possibly—confused in new ways.
If you have to ask, then I will assume “Docker Desktop” (aka: Community Edition)‚ is the way to go.
