"Minimize to tray on start" / "Start minimized" option for Docker Desktop #587

Closed KairuByte closed 6 months ago

KairuByte commented 6 months ago

Tell us about your request Docker Desktop has two current options on PC startup. The first is to not start at all, which consequently does not start docker engine, and causes lag time when trying to enter Docker Desktop as you need to wait for it to start both itself and docker engine.

The other option is to start Docker Desktop, and have the window open every time requiring a user to minimize after it loads.

It would be ideal to add an option to "start minimized" when auto starting with the PC, which solves all of the above issues.

Which service(s) is this request for? Docker Desktop for Windows, potentially Docker Desktop for Mac

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? Fully opening Docker Desktop on boot is not helpful in the vast majority of cases, in fact it requires wait time to interact with the window to minimize after the fact. Not having Docker desktop load prevents Docker engine from starting without further "advanced" steps.

Are you currently working around the issue? I am currently dealing with the issue by manually minimizing Docker Desktop on every boot.

Additional context This is technically a duplicate of #502 which has been marked as closed. As I mentioned in my comment there, that particular users use case may have been handled, but the presented solution does not actually solve the problem as presented.
