03/13/2023, 6:56 PMFeels like a stupid question - but how do you upgrade Rancher on an RKE2 cluster? I followed the instructions to upgrade RKE2 (https://docs.rke2.io/upgrade/manual_upgrade) and that went fine, but how do I update Rancher...?

03/13/2023, 7:02 PMUpgrading a Kubernetes cluster doesn’t upgrade all the applications you’ve deployed to it.
Rancher is just another workload deployed to the cluster
You should upgrade it using the same mechanism you used to install it
usually that would be the helm chart?

ok thanks, i set this up a long time ago and thought i only installed RKE2 and it had Rancher on top of it
like in the quick start guide: https://docs.rke2.io/install/quickstart

03/13/2023, 7:05 PM2.5 is pretty old, make sure you’re looking at the docs for the Rancher version you’re actually using - but you’re looking in the right place

Brandon, when I perform the upgrade do i need to pass the boostrappassword?

03/13/2023, 7:46 PMI’m an RKE2/k3s dev and I don’t deal with Rancher a ton, but I don’t believe so. You’re not bootstrapping the Rancher install any more - its already up and running and you changed the admin password from the bootstrap password when you logged in the first time.
