    I’m having trouble with my docker containers on my Macbook (running via Rancher Desktop): I can’t connect to the internet from within a container, so
    ping <http://google.com|google.com>
    or
    ping 8.8.8.8
    fail. I already understand, that it is not a DNS problem, since then
    ping 8.8.8.8
    would work. Any advice available?

    When starting up, I'm encountering the following: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 172.24.87.79:6443 This only happens when connected to VPN. Do I need to set proxy? If so, please advise how/where.

    Attempting to build rancher-desktop from source on macos, and got to the step in the README to
    npm run build
    and then look in
    dist
    , but nothing in dist appears to be a binary. Seems another step or two are missing.

    oh cool, dev build appears to have fixed issues with bind-mounts, at least the container www-data (33) user can read/write a mounted file owned by my host userid (503). is that a change in rancher-desktop or lima? and, when do new releases typically come?

    I'm inclined to make the switch from DD to RD too. Since I need to build images and test Windows containers, I'm looking for Windows-specific experiences with RD Is there anything similar to those two videos or a good and fairly recent review written from Windows OS perspective?

    This is probably most appropriate for a #thankyourancherdesktop channel, but I’ve learned a LOT about K8s for no infrastructure (AWS or GCP) costs thanks to Rancher Desktop. I’ve written a few articles to help my teammates & others out on Medium and this is the most recent one about Helm which is “batteries included” with RD https://jyeee.medium.com/simplest-basic-helm-chart-tutorial-with-rancher-desktop-k8s-7b87c85d960e

    Hello. Im using AlmaLinux 8.7 with kernel 6.2.2 and installed rancher-desktop-linux-v1.7.0. However, it doesnt quite work. It fails because it cant find qemu-system-x86_64. Now I have linked /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 to /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm but then it cant find firmware. If I edit ~/.lima/0/lima.yaml and change legacyBIOS: to true it kinda works if I run manually, but in a broken state as the rancher-desktop GUI isnt aware of it. ./rancher-desktop command will always fail even that legacyBIOS is set to true -- "limactl exited with code 1". Any suggestions of howto fix this?

    Hey, I have some troubles with permissions to mounted folders in Rancher Desktop. I would like to try out this fix: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/1209#issuecomment-1370181132 which mentions making a file in
    ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/override.yaml:
    But I'm on Windows, what would the correct path on Windows be? I think it could be
    %appdata%/rancher-dekstop/
    but there's no Lima folder in there, should I just create it?

    well, somehow managed to get what appears as a hang, but really it's just slow doing something. Activity monitor not high, Managed to ssh into it, pressing return a couple of times shows no response for several seconds. Any logs that might prove useful?

    Hello 👋 Just a quick check... has anyone managed running multi-node local k8s deployment with LoadBalancer + Ingress ( any of them, like MetalLB + Emissary ) on ARM Mac ( m1, m2 ) ? Asking for the well known obstacle of being unable to access container private IP ( hence the MetalLB assigned IP ) due to Lima networking limitations... Docker for Mac had a nice service solving this issue, but haven't been able to find anyhting like it for Rancher Desktop... Any solutions, ideas, or pointing in possibly right direction ? 😅

    Auto-update to version 1.8 will be enabled on Monday. If you want to upgrade earlier, you have to install manually from the Github releases page. Note that the ZIP file for macOS on M1 was broken and has been replaced maybe an hour ago. No other file should have been affected (i.e. the DMG for M1 was the correct version).

    Hello, Wondering if anyone has any ideas on the issue I'm seeing with RancherDesktop with Dockerd. Initially installed 1.7, installed 1.8 today. Trying to run/debug an AWS Lambda and the process either hangs after "Picked up __JAVA__OPTIONS" step or fails with a ClassNotFoundException. The sam build command succeeds, and the artifacts are generated in the output directory (under my user directory) and are then mounted to /var/task in the container. Inspecting that directory in the rancher-desktop container shows that nothing is there and thus the class not found when trying to execute. I was initially thinking the mount was failing due to a permissions issue, but the container information shows the mount as successful. I've been googling and looking at stack overflow threads for several days now to no avail. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Auto-update to 1.8.0 has not happened today because we discovered Deployment Profile not working on my Windows 10 with the 1.8.0 release · Issue #4233 and want to fix this in a patch release. We'll continue to test the 1.8.1 tomorrow and will release later unless any more problems are detected.

    Rancher Desktop 1.8.0 fails to load Kubernetes versions (the same applies to previous RD versions):
    Error: No version available
    wsl does not seem to have started any distribution yet up to this point:
    wsl.exe --list --verbose
      NAME                    STATE           VERSION
    * rancher-desktop         Stopped         2
      rancher-desktop-data    Stopped         2
    The local machine has VPN and there is a company proxy. Connectivity to the Internet exists via proxy. The
    checkNetworkConnectivity()
    function seems to have successfully passed according to the logfile. A lookup to
    <http://k3s.io|k3s.io>
    seems to fail.
