Universal Database Tool
We can install some package manually, without adding bucket. For example, in bucket Ash258/Scoop-Ash258 there is Docker recipe, that you can call exactly:
sudo scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ash258/scoop-Ash258/master/bucket/docker.json
You must re-login for it to work properly.
Winget
Install latest winget from PowerShell
Huge problem is there is no ‘uninstall’ nor ‘update’ of packages.
