Hello Team, I want to know the Licensing structure and costing of Rancher Desktop within Organizational Level also features that we have in Rancher desktop if anyone can share with me will be helpful.

Today Rancher Desktop is a 100% open source project built by and maintained by SUSE Rancher engineers so there are no licensing costs. Support is available via community support so post your questions in this channel and open any issues you find in github. The SUSE Rancher engineers endeavor to address your issues by posting github Issues. SUSE Rancher would like to hear more about your interest in Enterprise support offerings. Please contact your local sales team for more information and to register your interest here- Contact SUSE Rancher.

Thank You Paul, also can you share me the installation manual and the different features it covers.Also I want to know can we use the Docker containers directly to rancher or we need to migrate them to rancher to use it.

Yes you can use your docker containers. Both Rancher and Rancher Desktop have a Kubernetes distro at their core. Rancher allows you to use any cncf certified k8s distro but also includes RKE, K3S, & RKE2. Rancher Desktop includes k3s because of its lightweight but 100% kubernetes functional. Perfect for desktop and edge devices. Also included with Rancher Desktop Installation is Docker moby.

Ok, I was using the nerdctl command to pull an image and in the images list I can see it so how can I run that image to form a container any specific command is there for nerdctl.

@refined-scooter-11467 Please start other threads for your technical questions to get the widest visibility and response. I would also like to make my original response about support more clear. Both Rancher Desktop and Rancher Server are really & truly Open Source Software (OSS) projects, not just "FREE software". The difference is often misunderstood. Truly OSS means that Enterprise level support, if and when it is offered by SUSE will always be an OPTIONAL add-on that will provide you are more reliable and thorough support experience. You will always be free to use the OSS and leverage the community as described for help.

@refined-scooter-11467 you should be able to run your image with

nerdctl run ...

just as with

docker

. If it doesn't work, please show the commands you run, and their output, so somebody can see how it failed and maybe point out the reason. As Paul mentioned, please start a new thread for each new topic, to get more visibility.

In place of nerdctl if I add docker it works But when I add nerdctl it shows the below error attached the images
