Hello all, I’m new to this workspace here - driven by desperation. I’m running Rancher Desktop on a Mac (12.6.3) to get access to Docker. Months ago it took me almost an eternity to get it running smoothly… and now, since yesterday, I get this error message on startup (actually, I don’t want to run Kubernetes at all… I just want to use Docker 😞 )
Error: /Applications/Rancher <http://Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl|Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl> exited with code 1


time="2023-03-09T11:33:25+01:00" level=fatal msg="errors inspecting instance: [field `images` must be set]"\n',
  code: 1,
  command: [
    '/Applications/Rancher <http://Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl|Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl>',
    'start',
    '--tty=false',
    '0'
  ]
}
Anyone here experiencing the same issues or knowing a solution? I hope this is the right place to ask. Thanks in advance.

If you aren't using kubernetes, you can turn that if in Rancher Desktop settings

Yes, I know that and have done so. Doesn't stop Rancher complaining about it. lima didn't start up anymore and all permission checking did not work. Had to completely reinstall

Are you running with a corporate firewall/VPN?
And what version of Rancher Desktop?

I was running version 1.7.0 without "firewall/VPN". I've decided to completely remove it as I cannot afford to spend hours on troubleshooting and reinstalling every couple of weeks/months. Unfortunately, this was the case for me. Thank you for your time and effort, anyways 🙏
