I am trying to install Rancher on my Docker Desktop for Windows (using wsl2).  
I have already enabled Kubernetes on Docker settings, and was able to install Rancher using helm and following this [tutorial](https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/k8s-install/helm-rancher/).  
Rancher runs, but no websockets also cattle-cluster-agent and cattle-node-agent are not deploying.

Is it possible to install Rancher on Docker Desktop (for development purpose)?

Thanks

Look at this setup. I used it.

The only problem I have with it is creating new cluster with other NUC-like bare-metal nodes.
