Preflight Checklist

• I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Some of your users would like to have RD integrated to different IDEs, e.g.: VS20XX, IntelliJ, and etc.
Also it worth to include the integration process into our docs.

Proposed Solution

• Integration with IDEs (VS20XX and IntelliJ)
• Documentation/How to guide

Additional Information

No response

I'm wondering what "integration" means here; please be more specific.

I know VS Code has specific support for containers, and that works as-is with Rancher Desktop as long as you use the dockerd/moby runtime, so VS Code has a docker socket to talk too.

Beyond that, what exactly is required to "integrate"?

When I was working with PHPStorm - JetBrains, the IDE has an option to "integrate" Docker into the IDE (see here).

I'm not 100% sure, at our side, if we need to implement code or it's only a documentation matter, as long the user selects moby/dockerd container run time.

Hi @jandubois ,

We are facing hanging issue while deploying .NET Core application in Docker with Rancher Desktop and Visual Studio 2022. Could you please help us to fix this?

Note: Same .NET Core application working properly with Docker Desktop and Visual Studio 2022.

Configurations:

Rancher Desktop Version - 1.0.0
Rancher Desktop Kubernetes Version - 1.23.3
Which container runtime are you using? - dockerd (moby)
What operating system are you using? - Windows 10
Operating System / Build Version – 19042.1466
What CPU architecture are you using? - x64

Replication Procedure:

1. Install Rancher Desktop in Windows machine and run it with dockerd (moby) container runtime.
2. Create .NET Core application with docker support by referring below link, (Attached a tried sample ConsoleApp5.zip)
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/containers/overview?view=vs-2022
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/with-visual-studio?pivots=dotnet-6-0
3. Open the created application in Visual Studio 2022 and run the application in Docker setup.
   
4. Visual Studio will get hang after created the docker image using Rancher Desktop. Please find the Visual Studio Screenshot below,

Note: Docker image created properly using Rancher Desktop and Visual Studio get hang while running a Rancher Desktop created docker image

Please find the docker file execution command of Visual Studio 2022,

Please find the created docker image from below screenshot,

Thanks in advance.

@Ramaraj-Marimuthu I believe that's a duplicate of #1171 and isn't really any integration to be done on our side.

[jandubois]

@Ramaraj-Marimuthu Please file a new Github issue instead of piggy-backing on an existing one, unless you know it is the same problem, and not just related. That helps us to keep the discussions separate.

The problem with Docker applications hanging is a duplicate of #1171, as @mook-as already wrote, and should be fixed in the 1.0.1 patch release which should be available by tomorrow. Please test again with that version, and raise a new issue if your problem persists!

[Ramaraj-Marimuthu]

@mook-as & @jandubois - Thank you for your updates.

Reported hanging issue is resolved in Rancher Desktop v1.0.1.

Do we have any options to find a states (Memory Usage, CPU Usage) of container in Rancher Desktop ? (similar to Docker Desktop)

@Ramaraj-Marimuthu
Please, for any other question, open a discussion (Q&A).
This is a feature request card related to the IDE Integration. Feel free to start a new discussion or a new issue, outside of this one.
Thanks for understanding.

I'll put some steps together and share it with you @jtravee -- thanks for following it up.
