Rancher-Desktop: "docker: 'scout' is not a docker command."

Question

I am using Rancher-Desktop and get the following error when I try to analyse docker images for vulnerabilities locally with docker scout cves fs://.

docker: 'scout' is not a docker command.
See 'docker --help'

Is the docker scout part of Docker-Desktop only? Can I use docker scout with Rancher-Desktop as e.g. plugin, extension etc, similar to other docker commands?

Answer 1

Docker Scout is packaged with Docker Desktop. You can install it separately following Docker's instructions:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/scout-cli/main/install.sh -o install-scout.sh
sh install-scout.sh
