Hallo, Can anyone tell me how I can cleanup & shrink the constantly growing vhdx file on Docker Desktop on WSL2 (Windows 11) machine which is already at 130GBs and growing. I have seen in rancher-desktop WSL distro that it's /mnt/wsl/rancher-desktop/run/data/var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.overlayfs which is eating 99GB and io.containerd.content.v1.content 25GBs. I already tried deleting outdated images on rancher-desktop and then compacting the file with diskpart but to no avail. I just don't want to shrink, so can I somehow shrink the io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.overlayfs whatever it contains?

Hello, I reached out a month or so ago with an issue getting Rancher Desktop to run. It gets stuck with the attached screenshot. It ran for 5hrs yesterday without loading. I've also done a couple factory resets with no luck. Do you have any other ideas to get over this issue? Logs are in the thread.

Greetings Everyone , I have created a windows virtual machine and installed rancher desktop on windows, I deployed nginx with nodeport service. But I am not able to access the nginx service using windows node IP address Am I missing something ? Thanks in advance.

Hello, switched from docker desktop to rancher desktop this morning and trying to get trivy to work with it. I need to export the env. var CONTAINERD_ADDRESS to be what the containerd.sock is that rancher desktop is running on mac os. Where do I find this?

Hello I have rancher desktop with 1.7.0 version. When i tryed to execute docker context create ecs, it do nothing Someone has the same problem?

hi team 👋 i was troubleshooting a separate issue with rancher desktop, which led me to uninstall and reinstall the application. now, when opening rancher desktop, i'm seeing the error below. I've tried a factory reset, resetting kubernetes, uninstalling/reinstalling again, running rancher desktop as an administrator and restarting my machine to no avail. any ideas what might be causing it? i've attached some of the log files, please let me know if there's any others that would be helpful. cheers!

Where do I dump my proxy and cert settings for macOS fresh install

Hello 👋

I'm having some trouble getting cuda working with rancher-desktop. Neither containerd nor dockerd seems to work. With containerd, executing

nerdctl run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.0.1-devel-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi

I get With dockerd, using

docker run --rm --gpus all  nvidia/cuda:12.0.1-devel-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi

I get

ocker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]].

. If I tell it to use the nvidia runtime with

-runtime=nvidia

it fails with

ocker: Error response from daemon: Unknown runtime specified nvidia.

. I'm using W11 with WSL2. It's a clean install. My GPU is a GTX 1080, and I have installed the latest drivers. Cuda does work in WSL (without containers) as executing

nvidia-smi

in my OpenSUSE-Tumbleweed in WSL returns the GPU info as expected.

Howdy, I am running Rancher Desktop behind a zscaler vpn proxy, I can pull images fine but I can't

nerdctl build --tag helloworld:v1.0 .

with a dockerfile that is super simple, just get alpine. When I run a nerdctl pull alpine it works fine but I keep getting

ERROR [internal] load metadata for <http://docker.io/library/alpine:latest|docker.io/library/alpine:latest>
...
error: failed to solve alpine failed to do request .. dial tcp <ip> i/o timeout
FATA[0030] unrecognized image format

hey guys,i am a newbie on this getting to now more about it, i start to build a docker/kubertenes/rancher about 2 weaks, but keeps saying the same error (Failed to get job complete status for job rke-coredns-addon-deploy-job in namespace kube-system) and i dont know how to fix it, can someone help me on this please.

[ERROR] [reconcile] host [10.0.0.41] is a control plane node without reachable Kubernetes API endpoint in the cluster

tries installing Rancher Desktop on Windows

I just installed the Rancher Desktop and this is the error I get when I start the app. Can you help? I am on Windows 10 machine

Hey, i just gave rancher-desktop another shot and it seems to work nicely across the board Ubuntu, Mac/M1 (for x86). Although on Ubuntu i can't access the vm directly on it's private IP because there is no bridge. That creates a little problem where i need to access an ingress-domain on the same fqdn from inside and outside the cluster. My best bet is using *.192-168-5-15.nip.io as ingress and add a /etc/hosts entry for these sub-domains pointing to 127.0.0.1. But i am wondering if there are other/better solutions?

Hi. I use Rancher Desktop Version 1.7.0 on Windows. You have an idear why the dashboard is not opened? I can see only the loading bar without starting the dashboard

Hi, I'm trying out rancher-desktop as a potential replacement for docker for local development. I get the following error when using the docker-compose provided by rancher-desktop:

Your kernel does not support swap limit capabilities or the cgroup is not mounted. Memory limited without swap.

The same docker-compose.yml works with regular docker-compose using podman.

Hiii having issue below

While trying to use the restart policy “*unless-stopped*”, I got the following message:

FATA[0000] unsupported restart policy "unless-stopped", supported policies are: []

Doing some investigation at nerdctl code, I found this lines at checkRestartCapabilities:

res, err := client.IntrospectionService().Plugins(ctx, []string{"id==restart"})
	if err != nil {
		return false, err
	}
	if len(res.Plugins) == 0 {
		return false, fmt.Errorf("no restart plugin found")
	}
	restartPlugin := res.Plugins[0]
	capabilities := restartPlugin.Capabilities
	if len(capabilities) == 0 {
		capabilities = []string{"always"}
	}
	if !strutil.InStringSlice(capabilities, policySlice[0]) {
		return false, fmt.Errorf("unsupported restart policy %q, supported policies are: %q", policySlice[0], restartPlugin.Capabilities)
	}

It seems it could’t find the policies available from containerd so it set default to “always” only, which is the only one working here. After some research, I came across this command to list containerd plugins:

ctr plugins ls

So I tried:

❯ rdctl shell ctr plugins ls
qemu-x86_64: Could not open '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2': No such file or directory
Error: exit status 255

Is this a containerd problem, or rancher-desktop? Maybe because of M1 architecture. @fast-garage-66093 maybe you have a clue about it. Thanks!

I setup rancher desktop and moby (compiled on my own) side by side so I could build windows and linux containers on the same machine

they work very well together and I would love to talk to someone and try to help integrate this into rancher-desktop

Hi, I've been working for the past month on the support of proxies for the Windows version of rancher-desktop. It has been a known issue for a long time that you can't use rancher-desktop behind a corporate proxy in windows because WSL does not takes the proxy settings of the host into account. I've already reached out this channel in the past stating I was working on a solution for this issue to gather information about the current status on that issue. At the time I was mostly trying some of the solutions I could found on the Github issues. Discussion with @calm-sugar-3169 suggested me to implement a solution based on the usage of a proxy running inside WSL that could be programmatically enabled or disabled to catch the network traffic and forward it to an http proxy. My changes to the

rancher-desktop-wsl-vm

and

rancher-desktop

code are available here: • rancher-desktop • rancher-desktop-wsl-distro My solution is based on a software named

moproxy

, a software installed on WSL that handles the connections and transmissions of packets to an http proxy. The traffic from the network interface is redirected to

moproxy

using

iptables

, so any type of filtering on ports/address is supported. I also made changes to the rancher-desktop graphical interface to make the proxy configurable from the rancher-desktop settings page or during the first run. Changes on the proxy configuration take effect immediately without needing a backend restart like the other change in settings. I saw that recently there has been some activity on the Github issues to port the network stack to work with

gvisor-tap-vsock

. I didn't saw any communication on that subject on the slack channel and didn't had the chance to manifest my interest in participating. This issue is related to the problem I was working on and make the work I started useless as it also aims to bring proxy support. I would be happy to contribute to the effort and work on this issue if you let me know where to start. Thank you !

Hello 👋 I am looking for an option to install and launch Rancher Desktop for MacOS with the following parameters and without configurations through the GUI, just using a script, similar:

brew install --cask rancher
open -a Rancher\ Desktop
# Click allow admin access in appeared window
rdctl api /v0/settings --method PUT --body '{"kubernetes": {"enabled": false, "containerEngine": "moby", "memoryInGB": 8, "numberCPUs": 4}, pathManagementStrategy": "manual"}'

But yes, the above script does not work, since the essential things are loaded at the first start. Do I understand correctly that the only right way to do this with the RD installer? Ref Thank you in advance!

hello 🙂 any idea how long until we get to try a release with rosetta2 instead of qemu for apple processors? 🙂

Hello team can you explain to me how can i create other clusters in rancher desktop UI??

@acceptable-guitar-10846 via creating a namespace you mean?

Hi I'm trying to run cluster via Rancher Desktop but getting this error:

I tried deleting the

is there any way to instruct rancher desktop to mount also the second disk "d:" I have?
