Containerized applications are only going to increase in popularity year by year, which means every developer and admin has to know how to deploy and manage those containers and services. To that end, several GUI tools have been developed and released to make the job considerably easier.<\/p>\n

But not all of those tools are created equal. To date, my absolute favorite Docker GUI is Portainer<\/a>, but there are plenty of other options. One such application is the official Docker Desktop GUI that\u2019s available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Although Docker Desktop doesn\u2019t give you nearly the amount of features and controls found in Portainer, it\u2019s still a great GUI that allows you to manage running containers, pull and manage images, deploy containers from images, create development environments, add Kubernetes support, and even expand the feature set with extensions.<\/p>\n

I want to walk you through the installation of Docker Desktop on Pop!_OS Linux and show you how to enable Kubernetes support and even extend it with Portainer.<\/p>\n
