Based on the provided knowledge sources, Airbyte’s abctl is designed to work with Docker Desktop, as it uses [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) to create a Kubernetes cluster inside Docker containers. The documentation and quickstart guides specifically mention Docker Desktop as the required environment for local installations, and there is no mention of Rancher Desktop as a supported alternative. The instructions for Linux headless VMs suggest using Docker Engine, but not Rancher Desktop or other Kubernetes providers. There are no official instructions or guidance in the knowledge sources about using abctl with Rancher Desktop. Therefore, I cannot confirm that abctl will work as expected with Rancher Desktop, nor can I provide any required changes to the installation commands. The standard installation commands assume Docker Desktop is running in the background, and all troubleshooting and resource allocation advice is based on that environment [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/next/deploying-airbyte/abctl). If you proceed with Rancher Desktop, you may encounter compatibility issues, and the knowledge sources do not provide troubleshooting steps for this scenario. For the most reliable experience, it is recommended to use Docker Desktop as described in the official documentation [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/next/using-airbyte/getting-started/oss-quickstart). If you need to use a different environment, you may want to monitor the Airbyte community forums or GitHub discussions for any user-reported experiences or workarounds, but as of now, there is no official support or guidance for Rancher Desktop.
