Known issues

For Mac

  • After enabling VirtioFS, containers with processes running with different Unix user IDs may experience caching issues. For example if a process running as root queries a file and another process running as user nginx tries to access the same file immediately, the nginx process will get a "Permission Denied" error.

Docker Desktop 4.5.1

2022-02-15

Download Docker Desktop

For Windows

Bug fixes and minor changes

For Windows

  • Fixed an issue that caused new installations to default to the Hyper-V backend instead of WSL 2.
  • Fixed a crash in the Docker Dashboard which would make the systray menu disappear.

If you are running Docker Desktop on Windows Home, installing 4.5.1 will switch it back to WSL 2 automatically. If you are running another version of Windows, and you want Docker Desktop to use the WSL 2 backend, you must manually switch by enabling the Use the WSL 2 based engine option in the Settings > General section. Alternatively, you can edit the Docker Desktop settings file located at %APPDATA%\Docker\settings.json and manually switch the value of the wslEngineEnabled field to true.

Docker Desktop 4.5.0

2022-02-10

Download Docker Desktop

Mac with Intel chip | Mac with Apple chip

Security

For Mac

  • Fixed CVE-2021-44719{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""} where Docker Desktop could be used to access any user file on the host from a container, bypassing the allowed list of shared folders.

For Windows

  • Fixed CVE-2022-23774{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""} where Docker Desktop allows attackers to move arbitrary files.

New

  • Docker Desktop 4.5.0 introduces a new version of the Docker menu which creates a consistent user experience across all operating systems. For more information, see the blog post New Docker Menu & Improved Release Highlights with Docker Desktop 4.5{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""}

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

For all platforms

  • Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop incorrectly prompted users to sign in after they quit Docker Desktop and start the application.
  • Increased the filesystem watch (inotify) limits by setting fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576 and fs.inotify.max_user_instances=8192 in Linux. Fixes docker/for-mac#6071.

For Mac

  • Fixed an issue that caused the VM to become unresponsive during startup when using osxfs and when no host directories are shared with the VM.
  • Fixed an issue that didn't allow users to stop a Docker Compose application using Docker Dashboard if the application was started in a different version of Docker Compose. For example, if the user started a Docker Compose application in V1 and then switched to Docker Compose V2, attempts to stop the Docker Compose application would fail.
  • Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop incorrectly prompted users to sign in after they quit Docker Desktop and start the application.
  • Fixed an issue where the About Docker Desktop window wasn't working anymore.
  • Limit the number of CPUs to 8 on Mac M1 to fix the startup problem. Fixes docker/for-mac#6063.

For Windows

  • Fixed an issue related to compose app started with version 2, but the dashboard only deals with version 1

Known issues

For Windows

Installing Docker Desktop 4.5.0 from scratch has a bug which defaults Docker Desktop to use the Hyper-V backend instead of WSL 2. This means, Windows Home users will not be able to start Docker Desktop as WSL 2 is the only supported backend. To work around this issue, you must uninstall 4.5.0 from your machine and then download and install Docker Desktop 4.5.1 or a higher version. Alternatively, you can edit the Docker Desktop settings.json file located at %APPDATA%\Docker\settings.json and manually switch the value of the wslEngineEnabled field to true.

Download Docker Desktop

For Windows | Mac with Intel chip | Mac with Apple chip

Security

  • Fixed CVE-2021-45449 that affects users currently on Docker Desktop version 4.3.0 or 4.3.1.

Docker Desktop version 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 has a bug that may log sensitive information (access token or password) on the user's machine during login. This only affects users if they are on Docker Desktop 4.3.0, 4.3.1 and the user has logged in while on 4.3.0, 4.3.1. Gaining access to this data would require having access to the user’s local files.

New

  • Easy, Secure sign in with Auth0 and Single Sign-on
    • Single Sign-on: Users with a Docker Business subscription can now configure SSO to authenticate using their identity providers (IdPs) to access Docker. For more information, see Single Sign-on.
    • Signing in to Docker Desktop now takes you through the browser so that you get all the benefits of auto-filling from password managers.

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

For all platforms

  • Docker Desktop displays an error if registry.json contains more than one organization in the allowedOrgs field. If you are using multiple organizations for different groups of developers, you must provision a separate registry.json file for each group.
  • Fixed a regression in Compose that reverted the container name separator from - to _. Fixes docker/compose-switch.

For Mac

  • Fixed the memory statistics for containers in the Dashboard. Fixes docker/for-mac/#4774.
  • Added a deprecated option to settings.json: "deprecatedCgroupv1": true, which switches the Linux environment back to cgroups v1. If your software requires cgroups v1, you should update it to be compatible with cgroups v2. Although cgroups v1 should continue to work, it is likely that some future features will depend on cgroups v2. It is also possible that some Linux kernel bugs will only be fixed with cgroups v2.
  • Fixed an issue where putting the machine to Sleep mode after pausing Docker Desktop results in Docker Desktop not being able to resume from pause after the machine comes out of Sleep mode. Fixes for-mac#6058.

For Windows

  • Doing a Reset to factory defaults no longer shuts down Docker Desktop.

Known issues

For all platforms

  • The tips of the week show on top of the mandatory login dialog when an organization restriction is enabled via a registry.json file.

For Windows

  • Clicking Proceed to Desktop after logging in in the browser, sometimes does not bring the Dashboard to the front.
  • After logging in, when the Dashboard receives focus, it sometimes stays in the foreground even when clicking a background window. As a workaround you need to click the Dashboard before clicking another application window.
  • When the Dashboard is open, even if it does not have focus or is minimized, it will still catch keyboard shortcuts (e.g. ctrl-r for Restart)

Bug fixes and minor changes

For all platforms

For Mac

For Windows

  • Fixed an issue that caused Docker Desktop to fail during startup if the home directory path contains a character used in regular expressions. Fixes docker/for-win#12374.

Known issue

Docker Dashboard incorrectly displays the container memory usage as zero on Hyper-V based machines. You can use the docker stats command on the command line as a workaround to view the actual memory usage. See docker/for-mac#6076.

Deprecation

  • The following internal DNS names are deprecated and will be removed from a future release: docker-for-desktop, docker-desktop, docker.for.mac.host.internal, docker.for.mac.localhost, docker.for.mac.gateway.internal. You must now use host.docker.internal, vm.docker.internal, and gateway.docker.internal.
  • Removed: Custom RBAC rules have been removed from Docker Desktop as it gives cluster-admin privileges to all Service Accounts. Fixes docker/for-mac/#4774.

Download Docker Desktop

For Windows | Mac with Intel chip | Mac with Apple chip

New

Pause/Resume: You can now pause your Docker Desktop session when you are not actively using it and save CPU resources on your machine.

Software Updates: The option to turn off automatic check for updates is now available for users on all Docker subscriptions, including Docker Personal and Docker Pro. All update-related settings have been moved to the Software Updates section.

Window management: The Docker Dashboard window size and position persists when you close and reopen Docker Desktop.

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

For all platforms

  • Improved: Self-diagnose now also checks for overlap between host IPs and docker networks.
  • Fixed the position of the indicator that displays the availability of an update on the Docker Dashboard.

For Mac

  • Fixed an issue that caused Docker Desktop to stop responding upon clicking Exit on the fatal error dialog.
  • Fixed a rare startup failure affecting users having a docker volume bind-mounted on top of a directory from the host. If existing, this fix will also remove manually user added DENY DELETE ACL entries on the corresponding host directory.
  • Fixed a bug where a Docker.qcow2 file would be ignored on upgrade and a fresh Docker.raw used instead, resulting in containers and images disappearing. Note that if a system has both files (due to the previous bug) then the most recently modified file will be used, to avoid recent containers and images disappearing again. To force the use of the old Docker.qcow2, delete the newer Docker.raw file. Fixes docker/for-mac#5998.
  • Fixed a bug where subprocesses could fail unexpectedly during shutdown, triggering an unexpected fatal error popup. Fixes docker/for-mac#5834.

For Windows

  • Fixed Docker Desktop sometimes hanging when clicking Exit in the fatal error dialog.
  • Fixed an issue that frequently displayed the Download update popup when an update has been downloaded but hasn't been applied yet docker/for-win#12188.
  • Fixed installing a new update killing the application before it has time to shut down.
  • Fixed: Installation of Docker Desktop now works even with group policies preventing users to start prerequisite services (e.g. LanmanServer) docker/for-win#12291.

2021-10-12

Download Docker Desktop

For Windows | Mac with Intel chip | Mac with Apple chip

Bug fixes and minor changes

For Mac

When upgrading from 4.1.0, the Docker menu does not change to Update and restart so you can just wait for the download to complete (icon changes) and then select Restart. This bug is fixed in 4.1.1, for future upgrades.

  • Fixed a bug where a Docker.qcow2 file would be ignored on upgrade and a fresh Docker.raw used instead, resulting in containers and images disappearing. If a system has both files (due to the previous bug), then the most recently modified file will be used to avoid recent containers and images disappearing again. To force the use of the old Docker.qcow2, delete the newer Docker.raw file. Fixes docker/for-mac#5998.
  • Fixed the update notification overlay sometimes getting out of sync between the Settings button and the Software update button in the Docker Dashboard.
  • Fixed the menu entry to install a newly downloaded Docker Desktop update. When an update is ready to install, the Restart option changes to Update and restart.

For Windows

  • Fixed a regression in WSL 2 integrations for some distros (e.g. Arch or Alpine). Fixes docker/for-win#12229
  • Fixed update notification overlay sometimes getting out of sync between the Settings button and the Software update button in the Dashboard.
