Installation

Selerity Desktop is distributed via Docker Hub. A specific version is required for installation.

Prerequisites

  • Docker Desktop (latest version recommended)
  • A version number provided by Selerity (e.g. 0.34.0)

Allow Non-Marketplace Extensions

Before installing, you must allow extensions that are not yet published in the Docker Marketplace:

  1. Open Docker Desktop
  2. Click the Settings gear icon (top right)
  3. Select Extensions in the left sidebar
  4. Untick the option "Only allow extensions distributed through the Docker Marketplace"
  5. Click Apply & restart

This setting is required

If this option remains ticked, Docker Desktop will block the installation with an error. You can re-enable this restriction after installing if desired — it will not affect already-installed extensions.

Install the Extension

Choose one of the following methods:

Click the following link (replace <version> with the version number provided to you):

https://open.docker.com/extensions/marketplace?extensionId=selerity/desktop-manager&tag=<version>

For example, to install version 0.34.0:

https://open.docker.com/extensions/marketplace?extensionId=selerity/desktop-manager&tag=0.34.0

This opens Docker Desktop and begins the installation automatically.

Option 2: Command Line

Open a terminal and run:

docker extension install selerity/desktop-manager:<version>

For example:

docker extension install selerity/desktop-manager:0.34.0

First install may take a moment

The extension images are downloaded from Docker Hub on first install. Subsequent updates are faster as layers are cached.

Verify Installation

Once installed, Selerity Desktop appears in the Extensions sidebar of Docker Desktop. You can also verify from the command line:

docker extension ls | grep selerity

Updating

When a new version is available, Selerity will provide the updated version number. To update:

docker extension update selerity/desktop-manager:<new-version>

Or use the one-click link with the new version number.

Uninstalling

From Docker Desktop

  1. Open Docker Desktop → Extensions
  2. Find Selerity Desktop
  3. Click the ⋮ menu → Uninstall

From Command Line

docker extension uninstall selerity/desktop-manager

Data is preserved

Uninstalling removes the extension UI and backend but preserves your desktop data volumes. To remove all data:

docker volume ls --filter name=desktop | awk 'NR>1 {print $2}' | xargs -r docker volume rm

Version Information

Check which version you're running:

docker extension ls | grep selerity
