how to access docker dashboard in ubuntu 18.04
I have installed docker in my ubuntu machine and it is running in background as service. How can I access docker dashboard now? Is there any way to access that.

I would recommend using kitematic, from my POV it is the closest to the Mac or Win "Docker Desktop" tool
you can download latest release here
Note: they officially don't support ubuntu, but do provide release for it... and it works OK on my setup:
- Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
- Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0
- docker-compose version 1.25.5, build 8a1c60f6
- kitematic v0.17.11
preconditions:
Steps to install:
- download kitematic release zip-file
- unzip deb package
- install it
Extra Note: after installation of kitematic deb package, I had to restart ubuntu for it to initialize properly... there is probably a way to make it working without restart, but I dint have time to play with it...
1Edit: Docker Desktop for Linux is now available
You can now install and use Docker Desktop on a Linux OS:
If you are looking for a graphical tool on linux to interact with your containers, you can use Visual Studio Code with the Docker extension:
See
Docker on linux does not have dashboard by default. You can access to docker using Docker CLI - docker command. And then if you want to use dashboard, you can install some dashboad that work with docker like Portainer.
