Hi Maury, We are currently working on creating a deployment package for Podman Desktop that can be installed across multiple machines. Our goal is to include the Podman engine within this package so that users do not need to perform manual setup steps after installation. When we deploy the package on other machines, we encounter initialization errors (as shown in the attached screenshot). These errors seem related to missing configurations that are normally handled manually according to the official documentation. Could you please advise on the recommended approach to: * Bundle Podman engine with Podman Desktop in a single package * Ensure that all necessary configurations are applied automatically during installation * Avoid requiring users to follow manual steps from the installation guide Our aim is to fully automate the setup process for a seamless user experience. Please refer to the documentation for any specific steps we should incorporate. Thank you for your guidance. Best regards, Sekar Sivaguru [cid:4d56e2b9-3d7d-42ff-b4c9-cf24f7956872] ________________________________ From: Jean-Francois Maury <jmaury@redhat.com> Sent: Monday, December 8, 2025 11:44 AM To: Sekar Sivaguru <sivaguru.sekar@hm.com>; podman-desktop@lists.podman.io <podman-desktop@lists.podman.io>; podman@lists.podman.io <podman@lists.podman.io> Subject: Re: [Podman-desktop]Podman Desktop fails to detect WSL2 even though installed – Need vendor guidance Can you provide more details on the scenario?
