Workaround for Docker Desktop in Ubuntu 24.04

docker-desktop-app-armour.txt

The AppArmor in Ubuntu 24.04 causes Docker Desktop to fail to run. The workaround for this is to create a new profile in App Armor once Docker Desktop has been installed.

Run this command to create a new App Armor profile:

sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/opt.docker-desktop.bin.com.docker.backend

And enter this into the profile in nano

abi <abi/4.0>,

include <tunables/global>

/opt/docker-desktop/bin/com.docker.backend flags=(default_allow) {
  userns,

  # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
  include if exists <local/opt.docker-desktop.bin.com.docker.backend>
}

Restart the App Armor service

sudo systemctl restart apparmor.service

And Docker Desktop should run.
