Feature Request: Support anax-in-container agent for Rancher Desktop as the container engine on Macos

[dlarson04]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently anax-in-container agent fails to register when it starts on MacOS using Rancher Desktop as the container engine

The horizon-container script tries to mount this file into the container with this argument

-v /private/etc/default/horizon:/etc/default/horizon:ro

but when using Rancher Desktop, inside the container /etc/default/horizon is turned into a directory so the agent doesn't have the proper environment variables set. (Same thing for agent-install.crt inside the container) Mounting this file with Docker on MacOS or Linux mounts this as a file inside the container.

Solution: Create or update this file ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/override.yaml with content:

mountType: 9p
mounts:
  - location: /private/var/tmp
    writable: true
    9p:
      securityModel: mapped-xattr
      cache: "mmap"
  - location: /private/etc/default
    writable: true
  - location: /private/etc/horizon
    writable: true

Also in rancher desktop -> Preferences -> Virtual Machine -> Volumes tab, change to use 9p as Mount Type. Then restart rancher desktop
