Rancher Desktop should be picking up your certs from the system automatically (that is, install it into the rancher-desktop environment on startup). If it's not working correctly, please let me know where your CA certs are on the Windows side? We should be picking up the

CA

and

ROOT

stores and copying them to

/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/rd-*.pem

in the WSL side.

I haven't 100% confirmed it's ca cert issue or a proxy issue. I'm getting a

Error response from daemon: Get "<https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/>": EOF

on

docker pull hello-world

Hmm. Try enabling network tunnel, as documented at https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/ui/preferences/wsl/network — that makes it do DNS on your host machine and forward the response into WSL

certs look ok based on the output of that wsl-helper.exe command. I have network tunneling enabled. Just to confirm this command should work right?

wsl.exe -d rancher-desktop nslookup <http://google.com|google.com>

You will need

rdctl shell nslookup <http://google.com|google.com>

instead

if the rancher-desktop wsl container is stopped how do I restart it?

Start Rancher Desktop? (The main process does a bunch of setup in the WSL container, so just starting it from WSL wouldn't set things up correctly)
