support for rancher desktop as VM manager

Open nicks opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

currently, ctlptl uses Docker Desktop as the primary VM manager on Windows/macos.

As more people use Rancher Desktop, we may need to add support for using it as a VM manager too.

Is this closer to reality now that RD is past v1.0?

@TimothyLoyer I haven't really spent much time investigating whether RD has the APIs we would need to support this.

Getting to Docker Desktop support took a bunch of research, and uses some undocumented APIs.

So certainly wouldn't reject a contribution of Rancher Desktop support, just that it's probably non-trivial and the tilt team has already been burned a couple times on adding support for Rancher Desktop APIs that changed out from under us.

That makes sense, thank you for the reply and all your hard work!
