Wow, nevermind. I just learned that the list is populated by fetching something real time from the internet. If you are behind a VPN/proxy, you can't get the list of ones that are not cached. Hopping off of the VPN worked to get the list.

Is it possible to use locally built images (not pushed to a repo) with the k3s that comes with Rancher desktop?

Another question. I can’t get metrics-server to work with rancher desktop. This is what I see in the logs

I1031 17:36:05.591588       1 server.go:187] "Failed probe" probe="metric-storage-ready" err="no metrics to serve"

I’m having an annoying issue where I can’t switch from

containerd

to

dockerd

I’ve tried installing and uninstalling rancher desktop (1.6.1) (running k3s 1.25) - but no matter what, when I switch the container engine it just hangs at

==> k8s.log <==
2022-10-31T22:47:41.493Z: Waiting for K3s server to be ready on port 6443...
2022-10-31T22:47:41.504Z: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6443

Any clues?

Another issue I am seeing with Rancher desktop seems to be related to this: https://community.traefik.io/t/heavy-performance-impact-when-using-traefik-on-kubernetes/12744/13 Traefik proxy is extremely slow, is it possible to use a custom image for the built in traefik proxy?

(WSL, RD 1.6.1, k8s 1.25) Is there anything I can do to debug the ports that traefik should be listening on? I disabled traefik to use another stack. I've since re-enabled traefik, even done a factory reset, but I can't seem to get traefik to respond on anything *.localhost on 80 or 443. Traefik is properly enabled as well as other settings like the WSL distro. I can forward ports from my workloads and access those directly, but the page never responds when trying to hit my-site.localhost, suggesting those ports aren't listening. I don't even get a 404 as expected, if the ingress wasn't properly configured. I don't see a port forward for anything traefik related, but I don't remember seeing that before anyways

Hi there - does anybody know where the Rancher Desktop VM temporarily stores image files whilst they are being downloaded from a repository? Thanks

Is there a way to install rancher desktop on a headless box? Say, to run integration tests? The question was moved to threads before anyone could see it

has anyone here had the pleasure of adding self-signed certs to

nerdctl

?

Hi everyone I have a basic question (new to rancher desktop) I want to install rancher desktop on AWS on an ec2 instance. The documentation says - it requires an x86_64 processor with either AMD-v or VT-x. Does this mean that it can be installed only on bare metal ec2 instances and not on the normal ones (t2.xlarge, m5.large etc.. )

I am using traefik and tried to setup redirectRegex with the following config:

apiVersion: <http://traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1|traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1>
kind: Middleware
metadata:
  name: favicon-redirectregex
spec:
  redirectRegex: 
    regex: ^<https://dev>\.account\.domain\.com/public/favicon(.*)
    replacement: <https://dev.account.domain.com/public/local_favicon.ico>

I also registered it as:

apiVersion: <http://networking.k8s.io/v1|networking.k8s.io/v1>
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ciam-public-alb
  annotations: 
    <http://traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.middlewares|traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.middlewares>: favicon-redirectregex

But now none of my url-s load at all, I am getting 404 on every page. Why would this be happening?

I'm new to Rancher Desktop running RD 1.6.1 on OpenSuSE 15.3. Things seem to work fine but the dashboard-UI has got me confused with respect to labels on Pods and selectors on Services. Inspecting Pods via the "config" UI I see no labels though they're visible in the Deployment-config (an in the YAML of course). Services do show their related Pods in the overview but in the "selectors" pane of the "config" UI I'm told the (perfectly working) selectors would match "0 out of 0 Pods". This looks like some bug to me. Or is there something I'm missing about the UI?

I’m trying to install rancher desktop on MacOS Ventura on an M1 mac and am having some issues with . What normally exists on port 8080? Following the nginx-helloworld tutorial I’m getting:

➜  gitlab git:(main) kubectl run hello-world --image=nginx-helloworld:latest --image-pull-policy=Never --port=80
I1102 10:25:15.433494   85633 versioner.go:58] invalid configuration: no configuration has been provided
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

Hi, I’m using RD on MAC, and after an update, it doesn’t start anymore. It hangs in “Waiting for Kubernetes API” for ages. I checked Google for solution, but non worked. I did factory reset, and reinstallation, but nothing helped. Can you help me sort this?

I got it working again after changing the version of K8s

Is there any easy way of installing Prometheus in Rancher Desktop? I would love to install the Operator, but I don’t know if the Operator Lifecycle manager is installed

I thought the metrics-server was that, but I must be wrong

Hello, having an issue with file permissions within a container. Seems like this issue reported in Feb. (and maybe some others). My use case is to mount a git repo, ~/.ssh, etc from ‘docker run’ and then use them within the container. With Docker Desktop, this worked because it would map the local user to the user in the container. Rancher seems to not do this. git complains of “dubious file ownership”. SSH complains of ~/.ssh directory security/permissions being wrong. I’ve dug a little deep on it, tring to see if docker was running with dockremap and trying to figure out how the map was done, but found nothing significant. Wondering if anyone has encountered this and found a solution. Running Rancher Desktop on mac. Thanks in advance.

Hi. trying to get similar performance on my local docker as i get on my production k8s cluster... but i think i'm not understanding the rd x lima relation... some questions in case anyone want to chime in

Should this work?

Looking for some docs on GPU passthrough for Rancher Desktop on Windows. Are there any existing write ups? I tried searching but everything I see is around WSL2 in Ubuntu directly with Docker

Mmmmm can't get out of this error. Been running rancher-desktop for awhile but uninstalling and reinstalling keeps getting this error

Release Rancher Desktop 1.6.2 · rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop

This patch release fixes an incompatibility with macOS Ventura

Rancher Desktop 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 do not work properly with macOS 13 Ventura. When running Kubernetes versions 1.24.* or 1.25.*, the VM would hang right away before becoming ready. With earlier versions, Kubernetes would work initially, but start hanging after restarting Rancher Desktop. This issue has been fixed.

There are no other changes in this release compared to 1.6.1.

I will enable auto-update tomorrow after reviewing any incoming bug reports

is there any possible way to use Rancher Desktop on Windows wsl with Proxy Server for Internet?

Hello all together a small question: I’m on mac (m1) and installed rancher-desktop via homebrew. I need to debug docker pull process, e.g.

docker --debug pull hello-world

Where does the logs goes? This here is not that helpful; and there is no command to get log location or redirect the log-path. Where does homebrew install rancher-desktop which again has docker (moby) installed and save the debug-logs? Thanks for you time!

Automatic updates to 1.6.2 have been enabled now

Running on Mac, it appears that one cannot bind-mount sockets, like

docker run -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK -v $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:$SSH_AUTH_SOCK -it --rm alpine sh

. It appears as a directory instead of a socket. Is there a work-around? Obviously the SSH_AUTH_SOCK is the main use-case.
