just noticed after my docker stop and reboot, the rancher/rancher container disappeared . In /var/lib/docker/containers it is missing. Does that mean a full reinstall and rebuild of the cluster would be required or can i just run docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 --privileged rancher/rancher:v2.3.1 again? Currently the cluster is up and running fine

and fwiw, the rancher/rancher docker image isn’t supported for production use, it’s just for dev/poc

this was all installed years ago with people that have left the company, i'm just inheriting the mess

i spent a full week getting the cluster up and running, i guess im a little shy in installing rancher/rancher again and breaking someting

the volumes were fine

on each server i did the removal of all rancher, then installed rancher/rancher gui and then added rancher etc/controller and workloads back to those physical servers

all was great until i reboot the rancher/rancher server and lost the rancher/rancher container for some reason

basically, i rebuilt the rancher cluster from 2.3.1 which is was prior and removed prior rancher software on my physical servers. Then added new nodes to the cluster in rancher. Prior data on volumes were still there. So its an all new 2.3.1 rancher cluster without a running rancher/rancher gui to configure it anymore

poking around, i did a ps -a and found a rancher/rancher version that was different than my initial install but its up now. I see the cluster. the only error now is "CatalogTemplate.management.cattle.io "cattle-global-data/system-library-rancher-monitoring" not found"

which might be why i see "Monitoring API is not ready" at the cluster level, not global level
