Rancher Desktop 1.4.1

on GitHub

This is the 1.4.1 release of Rancher Desktop, an open source desktop application to bring Kubernetes and container management to Mac, Windows, and Linux. The release contains some new features along with various bug fixes.

Important Updates

• Rancher Desktop now ships with registry credential helpers and configures them automatically: It uses pass on Linux, osxkeychain on macOS, and wincred on Windows. The ecr-login helper is also included but not automatically configured.

  For nerdctl (which has to run inside the VM for technical reasons) a credential forwarder will redirect all credential requests to the helper on the host, so no credentials are installed inside the VM.

• The Images list now supports bulk deletion of images.

• Various bug fixes to the still experimental host resolver (DNS). We expect to be able to make it the default resolver in the 1.5.0 release.

Updated utilities

• docker has been upgraded to 20.10.16.
• docker-buildx has been upgraded to 0.8.2.
• docker-compose has been upgraded to 2.5.1.
• nerdctl has been upgraded to 0.20.0.
• helm has been upgraded to 3.9.0.
• trivy has been upgraded to 0.28.0.
