Description

Describe the Feature You Want

Rancher Desktop has switched from kim to nerdctl in October 2021 - https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/pull/709. This feature request is to add support for nerdctl builds.

Current Behavior

No way to build images with Rancher Desktop and containerd runtime

Why Do You Want This?

With the Docker Desktop pricing model changes a lot of users have migrated to Rancher Desktop. Although dockerd is a runtime option containerd should still be supported.
