It is probably going to work if you switch the container engine from "containerd" to "moby" and use the

docker

cli instead.

Another thing to do would be to use

--restart=always

, so the container restarts automatically when you restart Rancher Desktop. I haven't tested it yet, so I don't know if this would run into the same issue with

nerdctl

or not.

Using

--restart=always

seems to also bypass the

nerdctl

issue about restarting containers. We have updated the documentation now.
