Dory 0.3.1 brings graphical Linux desktops and major release polish to Apple silicon Macs.

Choose before you download

Dory 0.3.1 has two fixed editions. The Desktop edition is much larger because it contains three complete offline graphical Linux images. If you only need Docker, Compose, Kubernetes, or command-line Linux machines, choose Lean.

Edition Download Installed app Includes
Lean, recommended for most users about 452 MiB about 1.6 GiB Docker, Compose, Kubernetes, migration, and headless Linux machines
Desktop about 1.85 GiB about 3.0 GiB Everything in Lean, plus offline Debian, Ubuntu, and Kali graphical desktops

Lean edition

Download the Lean DMG

Homebrew also installs Lean:

brew install --cask Augani/dory/dory

Desktop edition

Download the Desktop DMG

Choose Desktop only when you want Dory to include the graphical Linux images for offline use.

What comes next

We are moving toward one Dory app with focused downloads built around a Docker-only core and optional Kubernetes, Linux Machines, and Linux Desktop packs. This will let users choose the payloads they need before downloading instead of taking the largest bundle.

Highlights

  • Create and manage Debian, Ubuntu, and Kali graphical Linux machines from the Dory app.
  • Sharper Retina virtual displays with configurable desktop resolution.
  • Choose Apple Terminal, Ghostty, iTerm2, Warp, or another terminal app.
  • Configure Dory's bridge subnet and networking behavior from Settings.
  • More reliable privileged network-helper registration and cleanup.
  • Separate Lean and Desktop editions with edition-specific automatic updates.

Dory 0.3.1 currently supports Apple silicon and macOS 14 or newer. Intel support will come later.

Upgrading from 0.3.0

Quit Dory, remove the old Dory.app, then install your chosen 0.3.1 edition. Your Dory data drive is preserved.
