Headlines false, I just did this a few days ago.

Are you sure you loggin wasn't saved & you were actually logged in? :) I had to install docker for a new project @ work recently and was forced to create a login & sign in (as I was not previously registered). I guess direct downloads are still possible since people are posting links, but navigating through the Docker website does not present you with those options. Super disappointing

Please take a look here: https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-deskto... It does in fact ask the user to login before giving them a download link. The files themselves don't appear to behind a login-wall since people are posting them far and wide. But the website very much implies that you need to register.

This is a link specifically from the Docker store. Download pages are also linked from multiple places in the documentation, binaries are installable via Docker's package repositories, and generally available far and wide. This is a misleading, sensationalist headline, i.e. clickbait.

Linux: https://download.docker.com/linux/static/stable/x86_64/ Win: https://download.docker.com/win/static/stable/x86_64/ Mac: https://download.docker.com/mac/static/stable/x86_64/

The intent is to provide users with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different download links.

Can anyone post an experience using rkt [0]. I'd love an alternative to using Docker for containers, though I'm not sure how well a community has evolved around rkt. [0] https://github.com/rkt/rkt

This comment made/makes me steer away

There is another open issue claiming the project is dead (but maybe it's just stable)

My whole team is onboard with docker, and we don't need account to install/use.

I found the real problem with Docker to be that it downloads things from their repository. Just like Maven, it's a major pain point.

You'd be pleased to use docker-registry, then! We use Artifactory that runs its a docker-registry compatible something (maybe it's running docker-registry itself?) for our artifacts.
