06/27/2022, 12:12 PMcan’t speak for the Rancher team, but i think Dash was more about what was going on in the cluster and the Preferences panel is for maintaining the RD config. I believe Dash is mostly reused code from the other Rancher offerings as well so it can’t be tied to just RD.

06/27/2022, 3:36 PMI don't understand what you are asking for? Rebooting the VM is easily done by stopping and restarting Rancher Desktop? Is that what you want?

06/27/2022, 3:42 PMWhy should I restart the Desktop to restart a k8s cluster ?
From my point of view, the desktop is an environment from where I should be able to configure:
• VM (cpu, memory, disks, ...)
• Images, Routing (= traefix), Container registry (= missing feature)
• Tools (helm, ...) to be used
• K8s instances
f

06/27/2022, 4:23 PMYou can disable and re-enable k8s from inside RD. I still don't understand what you are trying to accomplish with "restarting the VM", and why restarting the app is not an obvious way to accomplish that

06/27/2022, 4:26 PMWhat I'm interested to do is to have the possibility using the Rancher Desktop UI to manage K8s instances (= create/delete/start/stop)

06/27/2022, 4:27 PMOh, RD only manages a single cluster. If you want to run multiple clusters, you will need to use something like
kindk3dYou can easily does this with RD and the moby runtime.

nutritious-application-85076
06/27/2022, 4:34 PMGood to know. Can we use the Dashboard part of RD to access a cluster created using k3d ?
f
fast-garage-66093
06/27/2022, 4:35 PMNo, it is for now intentionally limited to the cluster managed by RD itself
n
nutritious-application-85076
06/27/2022, 4:37 PMAnd to use k3d, a docker server must be launchd on my mac machine as otherwie I will got
k3d cluster list
FATA[0000] runtime failed to list nodes: docker failed to get containers with labels 'map[app:k3d]': failed to list containers: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?f
fast-garage-66093
06/27/2022, 4:42 PMThat's why I said "RD and the moby runtime"
n
nutritious-application-85076
06/27/2022, 4:42 PMSo RD should be also launched in this case ?
f
fast-garage-66093
06/27/2022, 4:42 PMIt does not work with plain containerd, both
kindk3dYes,
kindk3dSo you need to run RD as well, but you can disable kubernetes if you are not using the builtin cluster
