Hi Everyone,
A new update is out for Rancher Desktop and there are some nice additions. To be honest I have not been on the RD for awhile so I am not sure if some of these came in the latest update or one of the other recent ones.
Cluster Dashboard:
The Cluster Dashboard can help beginners visualize Kubernetes concepts and make management easier.
While it is tempting to live in the Dashboard I would still recommend getting.
Another interesting addition is Web Assembly which has been labeled experimental.
Go to preferences:
Then enable Web Assembly:
Your cluster will restart.
Time to try a WASM container:
docker run \
--detach \
--name spin-demo \
--runtime io.containerd.spin.v2 \
--platform wasi/wasm \
--publish 8080:80 \
ghcr.io/deislabs/containerd-wasm-shims/examples/spin-rust-hello:v0.11.1 \
/
Time to test:
curl http://localhost:8080/hello
You can also see the wasm container in the UI:

There are also some new extentions:
That’s it for this time. Rancher Desktop continues to progress
