Trying to deploy

kube-vip

to Rancher Desktop. There are instructions for a vanilla

k3s

installation using auto-loaded manifests, but it's not clear where to put those; and the install calls for some flags to be set at k3s launch time which doesn't appear to be exposed in the UI. Full question noted at https://github.com/kube-vip/kube-vip/issues/436

Yeah i’ve been grepping through everything in the desktop app and inside the limaVM I think it would require changing of the rancher desktop lima code for it to pass the “disable loadbalancer ” flag

Aha, with that I found this point for customization of the K3S_EXEC variable in override.yml: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/578

I see the new docs at https://kube-vip.io/docs/usage/rancher-desktop/ and will give them a go!

An update: Acorn is working now, after upgrading all of the Rancher Desktop and Kubernetes components, doing an OS update, and a full reboot. After some discussion I think it might be https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/commit/f7238ed842611881ef333fc3de67930420b38161 that is the fix that enables things to work again.
