08/01/2024, 9:20 PMThe Cluster Explorer in Rancher Desktop is hard-coded to only work with the builtin cluster. If you want to use it with other clusters, you will have to install the full Rancher Manager (e.g. via Helm Chart)

08/01/2024, 9:45 PMThere are no docs for installing it directly on the cluster itself, but we do this as part of the Rancher Desktop integration tests: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/blob/main/bats/tests/k8s/helm-install-rancher.bats#L98-L116

08/01/2024, 9:47 PMYou would need to define the repos first with https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/blob/main/bats/tests/k8s/helm-install-rancher.bats#L144-L146

08/01/2024, 9:48 PMMake sure you give your VM enough CPU and memory; the full Rancher Manager will require extra resources, and take some time to start up
