is it just me or can you not use the harvester provider w/ a custom rke2 cluster? it seems like every time i try that method, it just hangs on the install

ignore this one.

In Rancher Cluster Management click Create Cluster Pick “Custom” for the provider: Set cluster version to v1.24.4, because that’s what all the docs show. Newer versions seem to exhibit the same behavior. Click “Create” Grab the Registration command and save it. curl --insecure -fL https://{rancher-url} /system-agent-install.sh | sudo sh -s - --server https://{rancher-url} --label 'cattle.io/os=linux' --token {token} --ca-checksum {ca-checksum} --etcd --controlplane –worker Create a VM in harvester. I used a Ubuntu Cloud-img. Let me know if you’d like the YAML login to the VM once it’s ready, and run the curl command from the Registration Page from your Custom RKE2 Cluster. Watch logs with: sudo journalctl -u rke2-server -f Most of my clusters take about 8 minutes to stand up. I can let this run over-night and it never finishes.

looks like it might have to do w/ it not creating the cloud-config files here too. similar issue as to when you do not select harvester as the provider, and you have to add it manually.

do you guys have anything you are doing currently to get a windows node working with a rke2 guest-cluster?

@full-plastic-79795 and @salmon-city-57654 i created a custom cluster, dropped the new cloud-config generated from the rke.yaml file off one of the harvester servers onto the node, added the helm chart for the Harvester-CSI, and created a PVC. i get this error now:

that's when describing the PVC. it's a new error, so PROGRESS! 😄 any thoughts?

also worth noting, i'm using the service_account_name default, and namespace k8s for generate_addon.sh. i'm not sure if i should be maybe passing it something else? and do i have to do anything to create the service account first maybe?

another note. if i create a cluster w/ harvester as the cloud provider, grab that cloud-config, and use it in my custom cluster, it seems to provision the pvc just fine. so it must have something to do w/ that config generation.
