This release provides a preview of the upcoming support for Docker Desktop Extensions. They can be installed via the UI from a catalog, or via the CLI from any registry.

Implementation of extension support is on-going, and this tech preview comes with a catalog of 3 extensions that are known to work with the support already in place:

Epinio

Logs-Explorer

Tachometer

Additional extensions can be installed via rdctl extension install ..., but may possibly not work (yet).

Please use the moby container engine to try out the extensions; "Logs Explorer" and "Tachometer" currently do not work with containerd.

The Epinio extension only works when Kubernetes has been enabled.

This is the 1.9.0-tech-preview release of Rancher Desktop, an open source desktop application to bring Kubernetes and container management to Mac macOS, Windows, and Linux.
