Hello. I'm currently running Rancher-Desktop (Version 1.2.1) on an M1 mac running macOS 12.3.1 with the dockerd container engine. I've been trying to run a containerized test suite for a Go application, which stalls and eventually fails with a

permission denied

error. After poking around, I have noticed that Go binaries built within the container do not have the executable flag. If I shell into the same container image, with the same runtime config args, build and chmod the binary it runs no problem. I can also pre-compile the test binaries on the host and then run the test suites within the container w/o issue. I tried compiling the binaries in the container, and they all are missing the executable flag. They run fine after I chmod them. Additional sanity checks I have made are as follows: • I updated the base image of the builder container to pick up a newer go version. I was initially running go1.18 and upgraded go1.18.2 • I tried different base images based on libc and musl

Hi, I'm using Rancher Desktop as a docker replacement on macOS on an M1 based MacBook. I'm running KinD paired with tilt to set up my developer environment. I'm getting an error while trying to generate a helm charts. The process cannot create a directory in a locally mounted volume. I googled but had no luck—any idea how to solve this issue. I refuse to go back and run all my development environment in a Linux VM.

If I have a PersistentVolume with the source of HostPath, can I access those from the MacOS side?

Hi, I am evaluating Rancher Desktop for use by our team in a corporate environment. For now, I'm just getting it running on my work PC, which uses Windows 10. I've encountered two errors: 1. Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'C:\Users\chavarvi\AppData\Local\rancher-desktop\cache\k3s\tmp-v1.23.6+k3s1-lrwbeH\k3s-airgap-images-amd64.tar'. This showed up during the first launch. 2. Error: wsl.exe exited with code 4294967295. This showed up after I reset Kubernetes. Anyone suggestions for resolving these errors?

Hi here! I tried to add *.start script from my wsl container to do stuff over resolv file but I feel my script is never taken in account when starting rancher-desktop (and thus rancher wsl distro). The file is located here:

C:\Users\casimir.bonnet\AppData\Local\rancher-desktop\resolv.start

hello dears, for the past years i have a k8s cluster managed by Rancher along with other k8s clusters for other companies. Now i want to have my own rancher deployment, can you please guide me how i can create a new rancher environment that manages only my k8s cluster? P.S: the whole infra is deployed on Hetzner servers. Appreciate your support

Hey all, I am seeing some issues setting up Rancher Desktop on an M1 Macbook Pro with the M1 Pro chip. Below are the errors that I am recieving: Error: spawn /Applications/Rancher Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl EACCES Some recent logfile lines: ‘shell’, ‘--workdir=.’, ‘0’, ‘sudo’, ‘mv’, ‘./trivy’, ‘/usr/local/bin/trivy’ ] } Iam not sure how best to troubleshoot this, any assistance would be much appreciated.

How can I configure rancher-desktop to get the permission to access a private gcr.io image registry? I have access to the registry and permissions, but have no idea how to configure rancher-desktop to do that. Thanks a lot!

Hi there! I'm back with my use of RD: I finally succeeded to get RD connect to my company network so I can pull images but when trying to run image I get this error:

starting container process caused: exec: "": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

That doesn't sound pretty obvious to me... This is happening for images generated with docker. When running alpine image (from hub.docker) it does work. Do you have any advice?

probably a dumb question. but I've build a docker image which is now in my private registry. While trying to install in K3s I install the related chart and reference my docker image directly but K8s pod complains it cannot find the image (imagePullBackoff). How do I tell K3s to use RD registry from wsl?

Hi Team, I have installed Rancher Desktop ( Version: 1.3.0) on my mac for the first time. Getting the following error with kubectl config. Appreciate any help

~ nerdctl -v
nerdctl version 0.19.0
➜  ~ kubectl config current-context
I0601 09:02:51.539733   35360 versioner.go:58] invalid configuration: no configuration has been provided

What's the canonical way to resolve:

no Auth Provider found for name "gcp"

Hi all question on the latest version v1.3.0, a clean install with

npm ci

throws an error about node-gyp as it performs a rebuild, which did not happen on v1.2.1 - any guidance here? The linux deps mention needing to install node-gyp https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/tree/main#linux, but the build I am doing is on windows https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/tree/main#linux Some logs for reference

@fast-garage-66093 hey, is getting upgrades for

runc

/

containerd

on the radar for rancher-desktop?

hi folks, noob question incoming. how should I go about submitting a one-off task to kubernetes (running in rancher desktop)? I am interested in building my service inside the cluster, which would result in a container image being created

What VM image is used by rancher-desktop? I have a program that expect kernel config to be located at

/boot/<uname -a>

but the VM started by rancher-desktop does not have anything at the specified location.

Hello Community, I recently installed Rancher desktop on an m1 mac for to use it to build and test docker images locally However I can’t run docker on my terminal.

PS C:\Users\Lenovo> kubectl config get-contexts CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE * docker-desktop docker-desktop docker-desktop

Hey, We are running into an issue on M1 macs with rancher desktop. Our deployment works on the intel based macs. When we try to deploy an ingressroute, we get the following error:

Build Failed: kubernetes apply: error mapping <http://traefik.containo.us/IngressRoute|traefik.containo.us/IngressRoute>: no matches for kind "IngressRoute" in version "<http://traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1|traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1>"

Kubernetes Version: v1.23.6 Rancher desktop version: 1.3.0 Any suggestions what might’ve went wrong and what can we try to fix this issue?

Good Morning! So, I woke up and tried to compose someone's repository, as one dose, and I get an error about a port not being valid. All the ports seem to be defined in the

.env

and referenced in the

.docker-compose

but I just get

FATA[0000] unsupported port number: ""

when running

nerdctl compose up -d

and nothing from

nerdctl compose logs

. So how do I enable that sweet, sweet verbose logging?

Hi, I have installed rancher desktop behind a proxy , but I get the following error when run:

FetchError: request to <https://update.k3s.io/v1-release/channels> failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN <http://update.k3s.io|update.k3s.io>

Is it possible to configure an authenticated proxy in Rancher desktop? Thanks a lot

Hi, I installed Rancher desktop version 1.3.0 for Windows 10. I need to change the docker0 bride ip range used by the daemon that is currently using 172.17.0.1. It is blocking my connection to another system that has 172.17 in it's address. Here are the steps I attempted to change the configuration: 1. Created a /etc/docker/daemon.json file setting the bip to another ip address. 2. Created a /etc/default/docker file with the contents: DOCKER_OPTS="--config-file=/etc/docker/daemon.json" 3. Edited the /etc/default/docker file with the contents: DOCKER_OPTS="--bip=172.18.0.0/16" None of these changed the daemon to use a different ip address than 172.17.0.1 for the docker0 bridge. I'm not sure what steps I need to take to change it.

hi there! something weird’s going on with port forwarding on Rancher Desktop. I created a service exposing port 8000/TCP and trying to get that port forwarded to my Mac.

kubectl describe svc ddb
Name:              ddb
Namespace:         default
Labels:            <none>
Annotations:       <none>
Selector:          app=local-ddb
Type:              ClusterIP
IP Family Policy:  SingleStack
IP Families:       IPv4
IP:                10.43.215.24
IPs:               10.43.215.24
Port:              <unset>  8000/TCP
TargetPort:        ddb-http-port/TCP
Endpoints:         10.42.0.91:8000
Session Affinity:  None
Events:            <none>

Port seems indeed open on my Mac

lsof | grep 56107
Rancher   50831 victorbarbu   84u     IPv4 0x8f04a06a4fb87541         0t0                 TCP localhost:56107 (LISTEN)

Doing

curl <http://localhost:56107>

just hangs, however running:

$ kubectl run bb -i --tty --image alpine
# curl <http://ddb:8000>
{"__type":"com.amazonaws.dynamodb.v20120810#MissingAuthenticationToken","Message":"Request must contain either a valid (registered) AWS access key ID or X.509 certificate."}

Works as expected. Anyone faced similar issue before?

Hi all: We have installed RD in windows 10 1909, but when we try to add a image repository , appears this error: Error response from daemon: Get "": dial tcp: lookup on 192.168.167.15253 no such host We are behind an autenticated Proxy, How can config the proxy in RD? We try to add in wsl distro the proxy config in rc.conf file but doesnt works..... Thanks a lot

It appears the Rancher Desktop is unable to spin up the cluster on Windows 11. Different versions are failing with different errors. one of the error line as per the logs is - wsl.exe --distribution rancher-desktop --exec /bin/sh -c if test -r /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml; then echo yes; else echo no; fi. Please find config file below.

How does RD run nodes? I’m able to list nodes using

kubectl get node

. However, when running

nerdctl image ls

I’m not seeing any containers running. Does the virtual machine not run inside a container?

$ kubectl get node
NAME                   STATUS   ROLES                  AGE   VERSION
lima-rancher-desktop   Ready    control-plane,master   23m   v1.23.6+k3s1

how to do docker in docker kind of thing with RD and nerdctl ?

where does RD links the

containerd.sock

file on the macOS host ?

I would like to know more about how RD manages images - particularly on macOS in containerd mode. When I do

nerdctl build

in containerd mode, where and how does the image end up and what components process the command (e.g., how do nerdctl, containerd, and buildkit relate in such scenario, are there some other relevant components, etc.)? I assume that in Docker mode, the logic is handled by Docker daemon, socket, and registry, but that in containerd mode these are not available (correct me if I’m wrong). Btw, is the same buildkitd accessed in both Docker mode (when using buildx/buildkit) and containerd mode?
