    hello, I do rolling ugrade since first new version of rancher (2.6.x) until now. I am struggling a bit with app repostitory, that is constantly switching to the older version, Right now, we are on 2.14.3, but app repository for rancher rolls back to release-v2.13, I can edit it and set it to the release-v2.14, but after some time (maybe rke2 control plane restart), it reverts back to v2.13. Same happened in 2.13 series, where it rolled back to v2.12. What do I need to edit to keep it current?

    hello there friends! I'm running rancher v2.14.2 I can't find a way to create a Machine Pool template that be available for every cluster I want to create I'm trying the guide from github.com/rancher/cluster-template-examples but I get an error
    Copy code
    $ helm install --namespace fleet-default --values tmp/values-vsphere.yaml do-cluster cluster-templates/cluster-template
    Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: YAML parse error on cluster-template/templates/nodeconfig-vsphere.yaml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 85: did not find expected ',' or ']'

    another issue I posted on #CBEB5A0H1 but looks like its not related to vsphere so I'm postinig here when deploying a cluster, Rancher creates the VMs on vSphere but the cluster is stuck in "Updating" and the nodes stuck in "Reconciling". looks like the issue is with
    deployment.apps/calico-typha
    Copy code
    2026-07-03 18:54:08.350 [ERROR][1] typha/health.go 389: Health endpoint failed, trying to restart it... error=listen tcp: lookup localhost on 192.168.27.8:53: no such host
    192.168.27.8 is my network DNS server why is calico-typha it searching for
    localhost
    in there?! I just added
    "cluster-dns": "127.0.0.1",
    to Networking to no avail One important information I'm getting the IP Address from a "Network Protocol Profile" on vsphere and using this cloud-config to apply it gist.github.com/gschanuel/4817b239bc3ef163f2ee011d575bd464 what am I missing here?

    Need some expert suggestions here. Can anybody throw some light on this issue I see in rancher UI "Error while applying agent YAML, it will be retried automatically: exit status 1, error: error validating "./management-statefile_path_redacted": error validating data: failed to download openapi: the server has asked for the client to provide credentials; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false" .

    Hi, I'm running Rancher 2.14.2 with the vSphere provider configured for managing my infrastructure. Currently we see that once we update an existing cluster that Rancher creates a new VmwarevsphereMachineTemplate with the correct configuration, but is not removing the old (unused) template. Is this a bug or is this by design?

    Hi everyone! I got hit with the known Authorized Endpoint issue on an upgrade to 2.13.3, and the suggested solution is to upgrade to 2.13.4. My problem is that 2.13.4 appears to be a Prime release. Has Rancher doomed anyone on 2.13.3 with this issue? I was jumping up from 2.11 to 2.13, so is going to 2.14.x safe if my K8S version is below what is supported on 2.14?

    Is
    ClusterRepo.Spec.CABundle
    (
    <http://catalog.cattle.io/v1|catalog.cattle.io/v1>
    ) intended to hold PEM (as the field name and CRD docstring suggest), or is it single-cert DER as the code actually treats it (
    x509.ParseCertificate
    in
    pkg/catalogv2/http/client.go
    ) ? Seems a bit strange to call it a bundle if it only accepts DER...

    Hi All, I have old version of rancher running ( v2.6.3 ). The downstream cluster was running fine, but now is stuck with message cluster agent not connected and I can’t connect to cluster either through UI or by using rke2.yaml on one of the control nodes of downstream cluster. The downstream cluster is 5 node cluster with 3 control plane nodes (N1, N2 and N3) and 3 worker nodes with N3 node acting as both control plane and worker. The downstream cluster has gone into split brain with no etcd communication between N2 and N3 and rke2 service not running on N1. Is there a way to recover connectivity between rancher and downstream cluster without affecting the workloads ? Really appreciate any pointers to recover from this situation.

    Need some experts opinion here. I have installed rancher in EKS cluster using helmchart and using this rancher (rancher terraform module github.com/rancher/terraform-provider-rancher2) I have deployed the downstream RKE2 cluster on baremetal nodes. Now I want to avoid the dependency of rancher here and want to deploy RKE2 directly on the baremetal using this module registry.terraform.io/modules/…/latest?tab=inputs. I just want to check has anybody tried this ? If yes, please let me know your expereince around it.

    Hi All, Is there a way to foresee which downstream clusters and resources will be affected if I push a change to a repo pointed to GitRepo resource. I am trying to add it as a PR check.

    Hello all, we upgraded our Rancher from 2.13.3 to 2.14.3 and it appears this killed the rancher-system-agent service on ALL nodes on ALL of our downstream clusters. The problematic behavior is described in github.com/rancher/rancher/issues/56013 , since /v3/connect/agent is not responding, the rancher2_connection_info.json got replaced with an empty file on all downstream cluster nodes.

    We have usecase saying that a single node rke2 control plane node on physical server and want to autoscale the worker node joining my rke2 cluster as we see pending pods. I saw on internet and got around to using Metal3 but still i have some questions and need help. How shall i boot and join and remove the nodes from cluster. Where i have to define userdata and ip credentials.

    When I execute this command to an rke2-based cluster running rancher, it consistently takes 60s to get a response...what's the best way to debug the issue?
    Copy code

    When I search with helm and look at the index file it doesn't have all the stable versions in it. Shouldn't this have them there? releases.rancher.com/server-charts/stable/index.yaml
