nerdctl

is a Windows executable when invoked from Win32 (it translates Windows paths parameters to Linux paths among other things), and a shell script when invoked from a WSL distro. Ultimately it is a binary that runs inside the

rancher-desktop

distro; the other script and

nerdctl.exe

are just launcher tools for it.

Right. A Windows executable, not a Powershell module. I asked about Powershell modules.

sorry didn't realize thread forked. https://github.com/microsoft/Docker-PowerShell?tab=readme-ov-file may still work even though its abandoned.

It only partially works and as far as I can figure out, there's no way to login to a registry with it. I'd try the Docker.DotNet project that superceded it, but I'm not a programmer and I don't have the tools or knowledge to compile it and try to make it usable in Powershell when the authors didn't do it themselves.

yeah .net would be closer to c# interactions and doing a custom module would be messy
