make sure your docker context is set correctly in case you had a alternative docker deployment on your machine. you can also use the RD troubleshooting features in the UI to check some of the basics

doh, type “docker context ls”

if your currnet context is wrong try

docker context use rancher-desktop

And also make sure your are in docker mode not nerdctl

and just started the installation , it dint ask me any mode

we are not supposed to use Docker

make sure to swing through the docs. its a preference like using kubernetes or traffik

guessing you are not supposed to use Docker Desktop (commercial product) you can use “docker” the opensource client for connecting to a container runtime
