desktop-linux: ability to switch between runtimes

Open thetredev opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Tell us about your request I use sysbox pretty much everywhere I can. It's amazing.

I'd love to be able to choose and switch between runtimes in general in Docker Desktop for Linux via the UI.

Which service(s) is this request for? Docker Desktop for Linux

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? I'm trying to run as many services as possible with the least amount of priviliges. Sysbox does most of the hard work but unfortunately I couldn't find any way to install and switch to Sysbox from within the Docker Desktop for Linux UI. Looking around the underlying files didn't yield any results either.

Are you currently working around the issue? Not able to other than using the default Docker context where I can change the runtime by adjusting the Docker daemon config file.

Docker Desktop (including Docker Desktop for Linux) has the sysbox runtime integrated with the Enhanced Container Isolation feature, which is available for business customers. For more info, see Enhanced Container Isolation.

So there's no way to switch runtimes by manually editing files?
