I got it working again after changing the version of K8s

Are you on an M1 mac running Ventura? If so, does this sound familiar: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/3288

Yes, I am in an M1 Mac with Ventura. No, I don’t have Docker Desktop (I have minikube, Podman and Rancher). I got the same thing, it wouldn’t end finishing (I was running 1.24.x), and I updated it to 1.25.3 and worked immediately

I don't see why Prometheus couldn't be installed in RD. Note that metrics-server is not for Prometheus-style metrics. As the readme for metrics-server says (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server)

Metrics Server is not meant for non-autoscaling purposes. For example, don't use it to forward metrics to monitoring solutions, or as a source of monitoring solution metrics. In such cases please collect metrics from Kubelet

/metrics/resource

endpoint directly.

Ok. I just wanted to know if there is an easy way of installing Prometheus or I need to install it manually.

I see. I've never done it myself but the helm chart might come in handy 🤷

Ok. I used Red Hat’s OKD in the past and there is a way of installing it (in the same format that the full OCP does), just with one click

There are issues with all versions of k8s on Rancher Desktop 1.6.x on Ventura. k8s versions up to 1.23.x seem to work at first, but fail after a restart. 1.24.x and 1.25.x fail right away.
