    Docker is a container platform. Docker Engine is the container host for Linux and Docker Desktop uses a virtual machine to run Docker Engine and containers in that VM.

    For example, if you use Docker Desktop on Windows, Docker Desktop will run Docker Engine in a WSL2-based VM and then run containers inside that.

      First, stop talking to me like I don’t know this already. Second, these facts don’t make me wrong or you right. The implication of what was said is that you run VM’s on docker. The fact is, you don’t. Stop arguing.

        can you run pihole in VM? it would be practical for these weirdos that already use VM as a daily driver

        Ok, so what I was trying to say was this…

        Dude does most of their work out of a VM rather than the host, and asks if they can also run pihole in that VM. I was trying to say “yeah, but it’s a Linux app so either run docker from within the VM itself and run it as a container or spin up another separate VM”

        But I agree. Not argument-worthy. There’s no grounds for ackchyually-ing here.
