Download Docker CE without logging in

[sonicdoe]

Problem description

Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows cannot be downloaded without logging into Docker Store.

Problem location

• I saw a problem on the following URL: Install Docker for Mac and Install Docker for Windows

Suggestions for a fix

It would be awesome if Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows could be downloaded without logging into Docker Store as not to make users jump through hoops. This was already previously possible, if I remember correctly.

[joaofnfernandes]

I know that this can feel like a nuisance, but we've made this change to make sure we can improve the Docker for Mac and Windows experience for users moving forward.

As far as I can tell, the docs don't need changes, so I'll close this issue, but feel free to comment.

Thank you for your response. I hope you’ll keep the direct download URL available for the foreseeable future.

Um, what.

Is Docker closed-source freeware all of a sudden?

to make sure we can improve the Docker for Mac and Windows experience for users moving forward

Uhuh. You mean, force people to login with an email so we can target them with an ad campaign so we make money??

This feels dishonest. If you're trying to make money, say so. 'improve user experience' is the oldest, lamest excuse in the book...

You just made the 'user experience' suck by putting it behind a login-wall. One click installers are not new...and you don't need e-mail specific identifiers to collect install logs. I'm calling a giant load of baloney on this one.

I have a docker account already because I publish container images, but for consumers that just run images, this is a huge annoyance. Please reconsider this change.

For now, it would appear the direct link still works without logging in, but I wouldn't count on that being valid much longer: https://download.docker.com/win/stable/Docker%20for%20Windows%20Installer.exe

Welp, this is enough motivation for me to keep my eyes open for an alternate to Docker.

There's legitimately zero reason to hide it behind a login, and if there are good reasons I'd think this would be a great opportunity to share them.

If Docker CE license is Apache 2.0 you must let people download it without asking for an account.

[cailin-telenor]

@alexkit I don't think that's true. However, the Apache license does allow someone to create an account, download it, and then distribute it themselves, without requiring registration. So someone could create a github repo with the latest releases there, and that couldn't be stopped.

If someone were to do that, then docker would get even less analytics about the number of downloads.

The funniest thing is that they even link to the file (which you can still download without registering) in the official docs https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#install-docker-for-windows-desktop-app

Double-click Docker for Windows Installer.exe to run the installer.
If you haven’t already downloaded the installer (Docker for Windows Installer.exe), you can get it from download.docker.com. It typically downloads to your Downloads folder, or you can run it from the recent downloads bar at the bottom of your web browser.

Or am I missing something and this is something different 😕 ??

@dadosch Yes, you can work around the problem if you hunt a little. Why should we have to?

If you stay at a friends place, and the city comes and seals their door shut unless you provide the city your email address and log in every time you walk into the city, do you say "I don't see the problem, there's a window right there!" or do you get mad that you now have extra steps to do something as trivial as walk out the door?

What happens when the city screws up and the login doesn't work?

Is this problem solved? The thread is so long and I don't understand if Docker team still keeps Windows/Mac users from downloading the files directly.

I think there is something unfair. Linux users can download things easily but the Windows/Mac users can't do the same thing. I know that many Linux users often blame Windows, but this Docker way is unfair. Please set a password and email requirements for Linux users too. Be fair, Docker team .

[smolinari]

I don't understand some of the outrage voiced here. It's not a big deal to log in, which I was doing anyway to DockerHub/ Docker Cloud.

If they had said I have to pay to use Docker for Windows, that would get me up in big rile. But, that isn't the case. Thankfully. Docker for Windows/ Mac is still free for me to use. And, it is still saving me tons of time as a developer, despite it costing me nothing more than my email address, which they already had anyway. My email address to get the software is a hugely small price to pay.

That being said, I do understand one part of overall issue mentioned. Docker Inc.'s handling of this change has been poor, because it lacks transparency. The replies given to date only fuel the fire. This lack of transparency induces mistrust and indignation, some of which I also feel myself and probably the majority of other users do too - even those that aren't complaining.

As a company, I hope your goal is to be as transparent as possible. If it is, you still have some work to do with this change. It's been a couple of months, since it happened. You can ignore all these users and potential paying customers. But, you really shouldn't ignore the core message. You aren't coming clean with why the change was made, which means you are looking dirty. A dirty company is one that should be avoided in most people's minds. Someone made a comment of Docker turning into an "Oracle-like" company. Please, don't be like Oracle! 😄

Tell us how this change will make things better for us in the future. If it truly doesn't make our lives better in any way, you need to rethink needing to do it. Because, if there is no reason in it for us, then it is only a waste of our time.

@smolinari That's the thing, this does nothing to aid the consumer. There's no benefit there.

This is entirely done for corporate purposes:

• Better way to track downloads/installs.
• There are some who might not download when looking at the extra busywork, in turn reducing server cost.
• Better way to advertise because you got a login now, so they know your email-addy.

That's fine. It's a business after all. Of course they want to make money. But what I loathe, truly loathe, is then coming to a thread here and spewing all this "we're doing this to ensure we can improve Docker for your users"-bullshit. No you don't. You want to drive down costs and increase the ability to profile your users for further marketing purposes. At least be honest with your users. 😔

I can't say this is true, but I also can't say this is false. That's the whole issue. You claiming it does nothing for you, the consumer, is unfair to Docker, IF there are benefits. It's up to them to make those benefits clear to us.

If it is just a "business approach", then that is what also needs to be said. "We've done this or that, because we, as a business, want this or that. Sorry for the inconvenience it may cause."

Neither have been announced....properly.

The fact the change isn't transparent is what needs attention. The change is happening whether we like it or not. The size of the reluctance to accept the change comes from the lack of transparency.

[itsnotvalid]

I think the message echoes the fact that Docker for Windows/Docker for Mac is actually not open-sourced software and have an EULA. By requiring you to login, this may make sure you have accepted the agreements (although installing it also enforce that) and such. I think this is more than a nuisance. Note that I am not a lawyer and the above comment doesn't constitute legal advice.

Docker is not only a wrapper, it's an eco system.
ContainerD is not meant to be used directly.

containerd is designed to be embedded into a larger system, rather than being used directly by developers or end-users.

Sorry, this is my 3rd post already so I am kind of riding the meme wave at this point, but just wanted to emphasis on this :

I personally don't mind that much, I use a unique email for almost every service I sign up to which tells me who sells what to whom, but it is still an inconvenience that has no practicality in any manner for the user no matter how hard you lie and how many "user experience disruption for digital nomads that want to become the next serverless b2b2c edge provider moving forward" you throw at us.

I know some decisions are not always in the right people's hands, but if your marketing team or anybody at Docker needs this information, for any reason whatsover, and we ask why you use this, and you evade the answer, how do you think people will react ?

There is absolutely no reason for you to hide behind your statement, except if you are in fact doing something "sketchy" with this data (why would you bs so hard otherwise ? Think about it from a user perspective. I am not saying this is the case. But with what you are telling us, which is nothing, what do you want us to think ?). A simple "we use that to see how much time you spend on docker in a day" or "we track the most used containers" or any thing else in the world apart from "for a better UX" would have been an acceptable answer in this case...

The mere fact this is the direction that Docker is deciding to take explains the backlash happening right now. It's about the the trust you just are not working to gain or maintain from users. Just wait and see what happens once your users don't trust your product.

I personally don't mind that much, I use a unique email for almost every service I sign up to which tells me who sells what to whom, but it is still an inconvenience that has no practicality in any manner for the user no matter how hard you lie and how many "user experience disruption for digital nomads that want to become the next serverless b2b2c edge provider moving forward" you throw at us.

I know some decisions are not always in the right people's hands, but if your marketing team or anybody at Docker needs this information, for any reason whatsover, and we ask why you use this, and you evade the answer, how do you think people will react ?

There is absolutely no reason for you to hide behind your statement, except if you are in fact doing something "sketchy" with this data (why would you bs so hard otherwise ? Think about it from a user perspective. I am not saying this is the case. But with what you are telling us, which is nothing, what do you want us to think ?). A simple "we use that to see how much time you spend on docker in a day" or "we track the most used containers" or any thing else in the world apart from "for a better UX" would have been an acceptable answer in this case...

The mere fact this is the direction that Docker is deciding to take explains the backlash happening right now. It's about the the trust you just are not working to gain or maintain from users. Just wait and see what happens once your users don't trust your product.

I don't know why this is marked as spam. It does not include any libraries nor is dynamic in any sense. The only thing it does is using google analytics (who doesn't?).

I don't use Google Analytics, because I'm smarter than that and fuck them.

@joaofnfernandes I think this ticked needs to be reopened as the ticket was not resolved and your explanation far from satisfactory.
