I have installed Rancher Desktop to use on my WSL. After the install Docker was installed in a usuall mode. I could find any setting or anything else about Rancher Desktop also beeing able to support rootless Docker. I know that Podman could be a Solution but Docker would be the prefered solution.

In my current Setup the Rancher WSL is exposing its Docker Socket to a different WSL.

Do you guys know anything about this?
