Be aware of licensing restrictions. Docker Desktop is free for personal use, but it requires a paid license if you work for an organization sized 250+. This feature seems to be available in Docker Desktop only.

Note: I'm part of the team developing this feature.

Soon (end of May, according to the current roadmap) this feature will also be available with the Docker Engine (so not only as part of Docker Desktop).

As a reminder, Docker Engine is the Community Edition, Open Source and free for everyone.

Is it still the case that you can't run Docker Engine Community Edition on a windows machine?

(disclaimer: I'm leading the Docker Model Runner team at Docker)

You were always able to manually install Docker CE within WSL2 on Windows. But if you want to have an integrated Docker experience on the Windows host, you need to use Docker Desktop, which will ship it's own Linux VM and performs the transparent integration with the Windows host.

This is fully independent of the Docker Model Runner feature thought :)
