You'll need to do port forwarding for that to happen. The nodeport is only exposed in the WSL VM, so it's generally not very useful. (We may end up exposing it, but it's difficult because some users might not expect that and consider it a security issue.)

@proud-jewelry-46860 Appreciate your time and support Thank you 🙏

You're welcome!

Greetings @proud-jewelry-46860 Kindly I want to know if there is a way to run Rancher Desktop.exe application on windows startup, I have tried lots of the different ways to do this but no luck . I got this error when I tried to install rancher desktop executable as a service on windows. Kindly advise.

Hi! Running it as a service isn't going to work, but dumping it into the Startup folder in the Start Menu should work (interactively). We should have native support for auto-start in the next release (in a slightly different way) though.

@proud-jewelry-46860 well noted and thank you. I managed to start it up with .bat file and task scheduler without GUI login, Noting that for the first time I need to start it manually before starting it with .bat file with task scheduler in order for rancher desktop to prepare the environment and download the images. Thanks again 🙏
