Owing to not being a source code guru, would anyone know why using the kubectl shell in the UI requires get management.cattle.io/clusters

Hi everybody, We have deployed Rancher on Kubernetes, and we want to enable the Monitoring feature. However, Prometheus cannot be deployed as its PVCs' names are longer than 63 characters which is not supported by the Storage Class (OpenEBS Jiva). Is there any way to specify the PVC name prior to the deployment as a workaround? Thanks

Hi Everyone, Problem: Rancher is "empty" after fresh install What did i do? I've installed Rancher 2.6.9. on a K3S cluster (3 SUSE Micro VM's hypervised by Harvester) on on-prem hardware (Dell PowerEdge servers). Everything seems to work fine (except the SSL certificate, but i'll fix that later). But when i enter Rancher, there is no local cluster, the list is empty. And when i want to import Harvester (virtualization management -> harvester cluster create), it says : "namespaces "fleet-default" not found". It's a fresh install and nothing else (except certmanager) is running in the cluster. What do i expect? The local cluster to appear in Rancher / able to import my Harvester hypervisor cluster. I would be nice if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Hello! Its been a while... does anyone know what Rancher Government Solutions is? https://ranchergovernment.com/ Looking at products page there and click on the products it takes me to various Rancher products pages...

Thanks for this, I had the same issue and also was solved removing the last slash from the URL. If you are working with version 2.6.X also be sure that if you are using private CA you have the correct secret in tls-ca

how can I create a k8s clusters with rancher 2.6.x and set the networking plugin to none so I can install my own CNI? if I look at the cluster spec I see no option to do this, https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/rancher/rancher/pkg/apis/provisioning.cattle.io/v1#ClusterSpec

in 2.5.x I would set network.plugin: none

Hi All - running into a bit of a crisis here. I'm trying to migrate my Rancher 2.7.0 instance from a kubernetes cluster running 1.21.7 to a new one running 1.24.2. The backup/restore goes fine, but on the new cluster, Rancher never passes its readiness check. Any ideas as to where to look?

I am trying to import an AWS access key as cloud credential in rancher server. The authentication is failing saying Action=DescribeRegions&Version=2016-11-15 is denied, even though the key has admin access to the account. Any clue what's happening here ?

Hello everyone. Could please help me. I have rke2 cluster which was installed with Rancher UI. Now we haven't Rancher UI. We want add master and worker nodes. I used standart config.yaml with token. But i get error on rke2-server

Hi, today we tried to move the local cluster from

fleet-local

to

fleet-defaul

by following the instructions here: https://fleet.rancher.io/troubleshooting#migrate-the-local-cluster-to-the-fleet-default-cluster After we initialized the move, I could see this in the logs:

rancher-5677f59677-shbs7 rancher 2022/12/07 12:39:42 [ERROR] error syncing 'local': handler provisioning-cluster-create: failed to create fleet-default/local <http://provisioning.cattle.io/v1|provisioning.cattle.io/v1>, Kind=
Cluster for provisioning-cluster-create local: admission webhook "<http://rancherauth.cattle.io|rancherauth.cattle.io>" denied the request: cluster name must be 63 characters or fewer, cannot be "local" nor of the form "c
-xxxxx", requeuing

While this was happening, the local clulster had been removed from the

fleet-local

workspace but for the reason above it did not show up in

fleet-default

. We managed to get the cluster back to

fleet-local

again after editing the object, but it would have been nice to have all the "Continuous delivery" clusters in the same workspace. If you have any hints how to make that migration successful, please share 🙂

Hey so...we're still on RancherOS, planning to migrate at some point in the future, but we've run into a somewhat critical problem. One of our nodes is unable to verify the certificate of cdn3.quay.io, which means things are broken. Is there a way to upgrade the CA database are we stuck?

Looks like switching the console to Ubuntu fixes docker. Neat.

Hello everybody, The installation of the Monitoring application has failed, so I have decided to delete it, and reinstall it. However, although helm reports that the chart has been successfully uninstalled, the rancher-monitoring, and rancher-monitoring-crd applications keep being installed and uninstalled. Can anybody please explain why this is happening? It is really frustrating. May there be any stale resources that need to be cleaned up, or do I have to simply let Rancher stabilize? I have tried several times to install the Monitoring application. Thanks in advance

Hi, I m planning to provision 1.21.14 kubernetes version cluster using rke template from rancher-2.6.2. However its not listed in v2.6.2 release notes, wondering if rancher recommends only the listed k8s version or also the ones which are available in rke-template? https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.6.2 Kubernetes Versions • v1.21.5 • v1.20.11 • v1.19.15 • v1.18.20

👋 Hi everyone!

I am planning to take a backup for AKS cluster through rancher, is this possible, can anyone guide me on this??

Hi there 🙂 Would like to replace Docker Desktop (Windows), stopped the engine and deactivated WSL support. Installed Rancher Desktop instead. Unfortunantely I got an error like the attached one complaining about a already existing kubectl config (which I want to keep, of course, I use it to communicate with our Azure cluster). Also my existing docker containers are not listed anywhere in the GUI. Is there any migration guide I can follow? Thank you!

(Sorry, not allowed to edit anymore): I deactivated kubernetes for testing and after a restart, the error went away. But it's still not possible to connect to the engine via WSL2 (e.g. via IntelliJ): "Cannot connect: org.apache.hc.core5.http.NoHttpResonseException: 127.0.0.1:80 failed to respond" Is there any migration guide I can follow? Thank you!

Hey guys
