Hello,

Is it a way to install rancher desktop without internet ? I’d like to use nexus as proxy registry but before configuring the nexus registry, all il failling because rancher desktop needs to reach the update server:

`Kubernetes was unable to start: FetchError: request to https://update.k3s.io/v1-release/channels failed, reason: connect EACCES 172.67.69.209:443`

Is there a way to use a proxy server ?

Thanks.

If I recall correctly, I thought I saw in the rancher-desktop channel on Rancher Slack that this was a feature request so there should be a github issue for it.

thanks. I found how to use docker without k3s on windows. rancher desktop is a real docker desktop alternative 🙂

I will find a solution to provide k3s lately and I will fill an issue on github.
