👋 Maybe someone has knowledge, is there a way to speed up the launch of the Rancher Desktop application on MacOS M1? Yes,

limactl start ...

seems to take the most time. I'm just interested in possible optimisations since Docker and Podman Desktop start up faster. Giving the default VM resources on a fresh install, I repeated launches several times and got the following results: • Docker - 6 seconds, Podman - 19 seconds, Rancher - 37 seconds. P.S. I just was waiting for

docker/podman ps

to return results Thank you in advance!

Hi folks, I am using Rancher Desktop w/ Minikube for my local development. However, I am start noticing my Rancher Desktop stuck into pending or you can say it won't start anymore after a while if I don't close my laptop for days. Does anyone else is facing any issue w/ Rancher Desktop on MAC M1's? (I can provide the logs, if it make more sense to the reading users) TIA. Version: 1.8.1 K8s version:

v1.26.3

Container Engine:

dockerd

One difference i am seeing is container in docker desktop starts in root whereas here its not and container start is failing with permission denied when chown is part of container start script

Hello Team. I am facing a problem when running docker containers. The container is running fine. But, I am unable to hit the endpoints using postman. I get an error saying "Could not get response" But, if I disconnect from VPN, I am able to run the endpoint properly.

When I quit Rancher Desktop and then start it again, I have to configure port forwarding again for my services. We're using Rancher Desktop v1.8.1 on Windows 10 for the K3s cluster with

moby

container engine. Does anyone know how to get this to persist? If you found a way to script this or configure it, it would greatly help us.

I have been helping my colleague try to get Rancher Desktop 1.8.1 (using moby/dockerd) working on her Windows 11 machine that is on a corporate network that requires a proxy to reach the Internet. We installed for all users on the machine. I was able to get it working when installing it as the Administrator and hacking the /etc/rc.conf file to add the following:

Copy code

rc_env_allow="*"
export http_proxy=<http://myproxy.mycompany.com>
export https_proxy=<http://myproxy.mycompany.com>
export no_proxy=.<http://mycompanycorp.com|mycompanycorp.com>,.internal

Everything works fine except that the docker as a non-Administrative user fails. We did the Factory Reset, uninstalled, and reinstalled using a non-Administrative user and now,

docker version

works properly without errors when running as a non-Administrative user. However, the exact same /etc/rc.conf changes above do not appear to be working. Thoughts on how to correct this?

Hi, I have installed Rancher Desktop on my Windows 10 laptop and I am able to run docker and rdctl commands . But when I execute "docker compose up -d" it gives me below error . "Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)". I have placed a docker-compose.yml file is local folder and the file has 2 services and image of confluentinc. Has anyone come across this error and found a resolution to fix this ?

@fast-garage-66093 is it possible to install Rancher Desktop on ESXi VM?

I recently read about provisioning scripts for rancher desktop. Very interesting. But poorly documented, especially for the windows platform. So I decided to ask for help in slack. I installed rancher desktop out of the box. Everything fine. Now I wanted to use zerotier to span a private network over my responsive web application deployed on rancher desktops single node kubernetes cluster so that I can open it on my smartphone. My problem is that I need to configure the external ip address of the ingress. How can I do that?

Is it expected to get a kubernetes client version of

I found that when trying to install RancherMS, which currently requires <1.25 and spits out

Copy code

Error: chart requires kubeVersion: < 1.25.0-0 which is incompatible with Kubernetes v1.26.0

even when I switch back to 1.24.12 in preferences

witty-honey-18052

If I switch back to 1.23, then I'm ok, but it's obviously not desirable

I could also be experiencing something related to this issue: https://github.com/rancher/rancher/issues/38392

witty-honey-18052

04/02/2023, 3:22 PM

My error could be related to Kustomize or Skaffold, where the helm version has a fallback value for the kube version https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75008850/kustomize-helm-error-on-chart-semver-requirements. Uncertain how to work around that at this point with those tools, without manually moving to a different version of helm. Does the helm version not also get swapped with the kubernetes versions?

witty-honey-18052

04/02/2023, 3:23 PM

It seems that this issue boils down to my helm version being

v3.11.2

, which is passing the kubeversion to the helm chart as whatever is bundled with helm.

~I admit I am completely inexperienced at this.... I've installed v1.8.1 on Win11 with WSL2 (updated); I can see the cluster, and the dashboard - everything is green. My understanding is nerdtcl can still publish a docker-compose file - yet when I run this command `nerdctl compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml up -d`~

let's try this again: I admit I am completely inexperienced at this.... I've installed v1.8.1 on Win11 with WSL2 (updated); I can see the cluster, and the dashboard - everything is green. My understanding is nerdtcl can still publish a docker-compose file - yet when I run this command in Win11

nerdctl compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml up -d

I get the following error message:

failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error mounting "/var/run/docker.sock" to rootfs at "/var/run/docker.sock": stat /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory: unknown

Is this an issue to be filed - or did I do something wrong? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm new to your channel, and I decided to try

rancher-desktop

, nerdctl

04/03/2023, 2:58 PM

I uninstalled

docker desktop

proud-parrot-81193

04/03/2023, 3:01 PM

I have a setting that it worked on

docker desktop with k8s

, I have a solidjs + helm + devspace, everything worked on the old installed (docker desktop)

proud-parrot-81193

04/03/2023, 3:03 PM

I've tried the new

rancher-desktop

and I've built the image again

nerdctl build -t arkanmgerges/fe-softwaredev-expert:0.1.0 -f docker/dockerfile-local .

then I tried first install it with helm, but I got a problem that the image couldn't be pulled (locally)

proud-parrot-81193

04/03/2023, 3:05 PM

I don't know if there is something special to do. Everything (helm, devspace, solidjs app) worked with my

docker desktop

and I had it also locally build

I'm trying right now to "Reset Kubernetes" (from Rancher Desktop)

rapid-eye-50641

04/03/2023, 3:11 PM

With

containerd

nerdctl

you need to pass the flag

--namespace <http://k8s.io|k8s.io>

to the

nerdctl build

command to make the locally built image available in the

<http://k8s.io|k8s.io>

namespace. Please refer to an example on docs here - https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/how-to-guides/hello-world-example#build-image-from-code-locally
