    A list of vendors that treat single sign-on as a luxury feature, not a core security requirement.

  • vscode-docker

    Docker Extension for Visual Studio Code

  • A bunch of tools are still trying to catch up with pluggable container runtimes, most notable on my end right now is the VS Code "Docker" plugin[0].

    In general, though, I have to agree it's a nice alternative. In fact, I think it's already a better alternative for developer workstations. Getting it installed on my Windows box was just one winget command, then I was able to start the WSL host instance and get going with containers from the command line straight away. It didn't install any heavyweight UI front end, it doesn't automagically start running a bunch of services when you boot, there's no nag screens to log in or register or update or anything, you just type some stuff on the command line and off you go. And it makes me happy that even when you SSH in to the WSL instance there's still no daemon running, you're logged in as a normal user and don't need root. It just feels like a much nicer approach to containerizing stuff for developers.

  • roadmap

    Welcome to the Public Roadmap for All Things Docker! We welcome your ideas. (by docker)

  • It still exists but there is zero development on it. They left it in a kind of half finished state imho with some pretty annoying gaps in the workflow around updating configs/secrets, one time tasks, etc. There's zero future or updates in its roadmap: https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/175
