  • Is docker-machine deprecated?

    That's the other way around : docker-machine is absolutely not deprecated (there's no mention of it on the docs), but docker-toolbox is deprecated in favor of Docker Desktop (see the massive warning on the repo.)
  • Ignoring Docker updates is a paid feature now

    The Docker Toolbox repo is still hanging around, although in archived form: https://github.com/docker/toolbox

    With 19.03 it should still be possible to access the public hub, I think.

  • Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (15/2021)!

    You could technically still use Docker Toolbox for Windows (which uses Virtualbox), it's deprecated and won't be updated but you can still download releases on Github: https://github.com/docker/toolbox/releases/tag/v19.03.1
