The rancher desktop website clearly mentions that it depends on WSL2 on Windows10. However is there any (even unofficial) way to make rancher desktop work with Virtualbox instead of WSL2 ?

Hey Folks!! I am a beginner and looking forward to contribute to rancher Can someone help me in giving a approach to solve this issue: https://github.com/rancher/rancher/issues/39467

Hi Team, We are considering use Rancher Desktop for Windows on our VDI. But we have some questions. ・Do the Rancher Desktop for Windows run on a VDI(Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) ・When we found some bugs or security vulnerability, can we get the fix. ・Do Rancher desktop provides Enterprise support ? Can anyone tell me about these questions? Thank you.

Hello Team, I want to know the Licensing structure and costing of Rancher Desktop within Organizational Level also features that we have in Rancher desktop if anyone can share with me will be helpful.

Hi, Anyone got any idea what might be wrong with my Windows pc? This all happened after I updated to the latest version of Rancher Desktop which previously worked fine. Rancher gets stuck at startup at this step: 'Updating /etc/hosts Error: could not detect WSL2 VM: could not find WSL2 VM ID: could not dial VM 8D0784A5-6234-4457-B567-D775E173BDB5: could not dial Hyper-V socket: connect(8d0784a5-6234-4457-b567-d775e173bdb5:016a6eb7-facb-11e6-bd58-64006a7986d3) failed: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Are you using any corporate VPN ?

What’s the right way to manage my kubectl cli version? I can’t change it using the UI as that changes the mini k3s cluster version, not the client version. I see kuberlr is installed under the hood, but it doesn’t appear to be used, or I don’t know how to leverage it correctly. If I want to use kubectl 1.23.x, how would I do that?

MacOS, rancher desktop with docker moby Please, where is the deamon.json ? I need to add

{
  "insecure-registries": [
    "mylocalhost:5000"
  ]
}

but I can't find the file.

Hi everyone, quick question: is there a way of annotating the Traefik ingress controller that gets deployed when the "Enable Traefik" option is ticked? I would like the Dapr sidecar to be injected and I would like to avoid deploying a second one. Thanks!

Hi there! Running latest rancher-desktop (windows) with K8s 1.25.3 with containerd and while trying to run a service I have one of them reporting this: no running task found Does anyone face this already? How can I overcome it? Issue is not very obvious

Hi. I got sometime now to try rancherDesktop but the Online Docs ( docs.rancherdesktop.io) did not help much, does any one of you have better & detailed Docs? That would be great, thx in advance.

Hi , Looking for help on Rancher Desktop install for MacOS 10.15.7. Configuration fails v1.6.2 with below error

Should I still expect the RD Dashboard to open and just display a spinner with v1.6.1 on Suse Tumbleweed Linux?

I have namespaces stuck in

Terminating

I see many posts that talk about about deleting the

finalizers

, but when I do CLI replace or edit with the dashboard, the

finalizers

keep coming back and the namespaces are still there. Any other ideas to clean them up?

@sticky-summer-13450 Hi I have it RD Dashboard running fine here on Tumbleweed?

Hi All, I'm assuming at some point gpu (or vgpu) passthrough will be available on RD? My hardware would be a Tesla P4.

Hi everyone, I've installed 1.6.2 (k3s v1.24.7) on Windows 11 22H2 today, and could only get Dashboard to work after manually install rancher with helm and setting up Port forward to "https-internal". It was not installed or running out of the box. This is with Traefik enabled, haven't tried with Nginx-Ingress, tried with both nerdctl and docker (moby). Also it would not install with latest k3s version (v1.25.3) selected.

Until I installed with Helm and added port forward I saw this in the dashboardServer.log

Just looked at steve.log, perhaps I missed something with port 9080?

It appears my LG Hub is using that port, unless I'm reading this wrong.

I just want to confirm before I open a GH issue. It does appear that in 1.6.x on windows, port 80 and 443 no longer make it to Traefik. Is this expected? 1. enable Traefik in RD 2. deploy ingress for mysite.localhost 3. access http://mysite.localhost (success) 4. upgrade to 1.6.2 5. verify Traefik enabled, and WSL enabled, etc 6. deploy or verify ingress for mysite.localhost 7. access http://mysite.localhost (fail, "This site can't be reached")

Another test: 1. enable Traefik in RD 2. access http://anything.localhost - observe Traefik 404 page 3. upgrade to 1.6.2 4. verify Traefik enabled, and WSL enabled, etc 5. access http://anything.localhost (fail, "This site can't be reached")

I previously thought this was relate to the windows 11 22H2 upgrade, but verified this issue on a different machine today without the upgrade

Hey there. Is there an easy way to pass environment variables to

nerdctl

? For example, I want to do something like

export CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=<http://k8s.io|k8s.io>

to allow standard builds to be used in k8s. Right now I am modifying the

nerdctl

script in

$HOME/.rd/bin/nerdctl

to manually include that env variable, but that seems like a hack. This is all in an attempt to get

nerdctl

to behave more closely to

docker

. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

@mysterious-potato-12169 Hi, you could just add the the user $HOME/.profile or what ever shell in use, or maybe create an alias for different scenarios eg

alias k8nerdctl=CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=<http://k8s.io|k8s.io> nerdctl

The problem is that the

nerdctl

command is actually a file that shells into the

limactl

and uses the internal

nerdctl

. So somewhere along the way the env is lost.

Even running ``CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=k8s.io nerdctl info` in the terminal shows the default namespace. This is essentially my current solution.

LIMA_HOME="$HOME/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima" "${scriptdir}/../lima/bin/limactl" shell 0 sudo --preserve-env=CONTAINERD_ADDRESS CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE="${CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE:-default}" nerdctl "$@"

@mysterious-potato-12169 then add as an override in

$HOME/.local/share/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/0.yaml

under env: CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=k8s.io
