I am surprised a developer would not have chosen to redirect the port at run time already and would not be running the containers in the foreground in the first place.

So many developers don't learn docker. I'm Ops type person, outside FAANG, most devs are just flinging code at screen to close JIRA tickets, get the build to go green and collect a paycheck to go home. Docker, that's for us Ops people who have build that rickety pipeline that somehow manages to get your code into a container and into the Kubernetes cluster.

    I mean maybe but if you run your containers not via a GUI you get most of that for free or at worst with a docker logs or docker exec command.

    Do people learn docker not via the CLI?

      They do, then they realize that it's not the core component of their jobs (unless they're ops) and it is easier to press a "stop" button to kill containers, at least in their use case.

      I for one have been using docker on Linux for years and have to use a Mac at work, and I'm totally baffled by the fact i need to install docker desktop to use the CLI and don't get why you'd need or want the GUI.

      And like I'm not all anti-GUI, it's just that docker is one of those things I've never even imagined using a GUI for

    I think there's a difference in that dropbox was targeted at regular users, not just developers.

    I think docker desktop and apple's containerization are both targeted firmly at developers only.

    It's like programming, sure it's possible to write code in microsoft office or xcode or vscode, but all programmers I've met opt for ed or vi.
