 +====Docker Desktop for Linux====
 +I have preferred to run Docker command as a native Linux applications.  Docker Desktop originally was created to allow operating systems other than Linux to run Docker by creating a virtual Linux machine to operate them within.  Linux does not need this as the various docker programs run natively. A version of Docker Desktop was created for Linux that looks like it has some additional user interface features, but to date I have not wanted to setup an additional VM for this purpose and am happy to continues to use the Linux KVM VM solution.

 +=====DOCKER DNS=====
 +Docker has an internal DNS for each discrete type network.  This allows docker containers to be referenced by container name and compose name and allows repeatable inter-container referencing by name, so dynamic  container internal IP addressing is not a reference issue.  Container names are automatically assigned or can be specifically assigned with ''--name CONTAINER_NAME'' in Docker, and ''container_name: CONTAINER_NAME'' in Docker compose file.

 +=====Docker Cleanup=====
 +Docker can take a lot of disk space.  While I store my docker containers and data on a separate drive with a lot of space, docker is run on a VM that has about 55GB space, which is usually enough for Linux.  
 +Docker stores the container images and other operating information in ''/var/lib/docker'', with a lot of information in ''/var/lib/docker/overlay2'', the command ''sudo du -d 1 -h /var/lib/docker'' lists the sub-directories and used space.   See [[https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2023/11/docker-overlay2-cleanup-5-ways-to-reclaim-disk-space/|Docker Overlay2 Cleanup: 5 Ways to Reclaim Disk Space]], in particular the following commands:
 +  *''docker system prune'', which will remove stopped containers, networks not associated with any container, and dangling images, the ''-a'' flag will also remove all unused images.  The ''-f'' flag is to force removal.
 +  *''docker image prune''  removes older images.
