Unable to build image with windows native container image(nanoserver) on Rancher Desktop

[Annie-12]

I am trying to build an image using Dockerfile that uses mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:5.0-nanoserver-1809 as base . I have tried with both containerd and dockerd runtimes but am not being able to build and run it using Rancher Desktop.

• For containerd , though the nerdctl build is working but nerdctl run throws the error:
  FATA[0000] mount callback failed on /tmp/containerd-mount3046644623: open /tmp/containerd-mount3046644623/etc/passwd: no such file or directory
• For dockerd , while docker build it throws :
  image operating system "windows" cannot be used on this platform

I know there is a way to switch daemon to windows in docker desktop . Is there any way to resolve that issue in rancher desktop?( I need to run the nanoserver image)
OS: WIndows 10 Enterprise

We do not support Windows containers at the moment, only Linux ones (x86_64 exclusively, except on M1 macs where it's arm64 exclusively). Please refer to #255 for details.

Irrelevant to the question, but this is not quite correct, we do support both x86_64 and aarch64 Linux containers on either Mac architecture (via binfmt_misc and qemu-static inside the VM), when using the container runtime directly (not using k8s), e.g.

$ nerdctl run --platform linux/arm64 busybox uname -a
Linux 642f631c0d94 5.10.82-0-virt #1-Alpine SMP Fri, 26 Nov 2021 13:19:46 +0000 aarch64 GNU/Linux

$ nerdctl run --platform linux/amd64 busybox uname -a
Linux bf243802ec6d 5.10.82-0-virt #1-Alpine SMP Fri, 26 Nov 2021 13:19:46 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

We do not support linux/arm64 images on Windows right now, and we don't have support for Windows containers on any platform yet.
