Switch docker daemon from minikube back to docker desktop

Question

I recently changed the docker daemon from my local Docker Desktop to local minikube following these instructions.

@FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('minikube -p minikube docker-env --shell cmd') DO @%i

After running some tests, I want to change it back to my previous setup. I already tried to change some environment variable but it did not succeeded.

SET DOCKER_HOST=tcp://127.0.0.1:2375

Answer 1

Run the below command to get the list of Docker Hosts..

docker context ls

output will be something like below

NAME            DESCRIPTION                               DOCKER ENDPOINT                                   KUBERNETES ENDPOINT   ORCHESTRATOR
default *       Current DOCKER_HOST based configuration   unix:///var/run/docker.sock                                             swarm
desktop-linux                                             unix:///home/sc2302/.docker/desktop/docker.sock                         
rootless        Rootless mode                             unix:///run/user/1001/docker.sock 

Now, from the output's, select the context you want to use.. ex: to switch to default context

docker context use default
