no, no plans to support provisioning them from Rancher. You should be able to import them into rancher though.
same as any other cluster

thx, sure importing would work as based on API. Background is to deploy small clusters on top of Devies which have a container runtime, think about the NAS machines etc.
But, thanks for quick reply

I’m not sure why you’d run a full cluster in k3d as opposed to just using a single-node k3s cluster? In Docker or just standalone as a systemd service.
If you’re running it on a single device you’re not getting any true HA out of it, just more overhead
a
Yeah, but k3s needs a OS to run, and if you "just" have a Container Runtime availabel?
c
container runtimes exist on top of an OS as well
If you have containerd or docker, you have an OS that could run K3s natively
a
I'm. absultly aware about the HA aspects, the use case is basically this one:

or if you must run it in docker, you could just run the k3s docker image directly; there’s no value add in a multi-node cluster in Docker for production use cases. K3d is great for dev work where you want to simulate multiple nodes for development, but it doesn’t make sense for actual workloads.

Yes, this was coming to my mind as well... thanks
