04/21/2023, 7:26 PMif you install metallb and configure rke2-ingress-nginx to use a LoadBalancer service instead of running as a node port, yes
creamy-pencil-82913
04/21/2023, 7:27 PMbut that is all going to be something you will need to manage outside of Rancher
creamy-pencil-82913
04/21/2023, 7:27 PMRancher just sets itself up behind an Ingress, so it’ll be available via however you expose ingress-nginx

04/21/2023, 7:28 PMI have metallb setup and ready, any tips for configuring rke2-ingress-nginx for using metallb?

04/21/2023, 7:29 PMNVM, I think I’ve got it.
proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:30 PMMaybe I don’t.

04/21/2023, 7:30 PMyou’d want to use a HelmChartConfig and set the chart values to enable it

proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:30 PMI want to put rancher on the load balancer directly, not specifically nginx
c
creamy-pencil-82913
04/21/2023, 7:31 PMIt doesn’t work like that. when you deploy Rancher to a Kubernetes cluster, it needs to be behind an ingress.
creamy-pencil-82913
04/21/2023, 7:31 PMYou only expose Rancher directly when it’s running in the (unsupported) docker container

04/21/2023, 7:32 PMIs there a guide some where for migrating away from that successfully?
proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:32 PMThanks for this much at least.
proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:32 PMThis will cause my Rancher hostname to change, which I read will break things.. Just trying to avoid that in general.

proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:32 PMSo I did the migration, that’s done.
proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:33 PMBut all of my current clusters (all two lol) are looking for 192.168.10.99 as the host, not mysweetrancher.me.com
c
creamy-pencil-82913
04/21/2023, 7:33 PMif you’re using MetalLB, you should be able to just assign the MetalLB the same address that you were previously using for the docker container?
creamy-pencil-82913
04/21/2023, 7:33 PMah yeah, registering all your clusters against an IP would be an anti-pattern. Thats why the docs and UI all wants you to put in a hostname for Rancher.
p
proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:34 PMWell, I was learning and things got out of hand, very antipattern lol
proud-ram-62490
04/21/2023, 7:35 PMI realize that my current setup is not ideal, and is antipattern - I’d be happy to set it up properly. Is there a recommended doc or guide or even an uncrecommended doc/guide for migrating these clusters to the new hostname?
c
creamy-pencil-82913
04/21/2023, 7:37 PMI’m not sure. I’m more of an RKE2/K3s dev than a Rancher dev but from what I know you’re looking at changing both the rancher cert and rancher hostname on the downstream clusters.
