End of an era

Well I decided I was struggling to install Rancher server on RKE2 so I decided it was "SupportWare". I want to rollback to RKE1 today so see if I have better luck. We have support but I don't want handholding on basic installations... maybe I'll just do a kubeadm for gosh sakes.
h
if the RKE2 cluster is up and running, installing rancher should be a simple "helm install" unless you are doing something fancy in cloud or something
m
on-prem helm install
have /usr/local/bin/rke2-uninstall.sh twice now
h
what version of RKE2 do you have? I did this about a month ago on RKE2 v1.28
Copy code
helm install rancher rancher-stable/rancher \
  --namespace cattle-system \
  --set hostname=<http://rancher.mydomain.org|rancher.mydomain.org> \
  --set bootstrapPassword=admin
m
latest stable whatever gets installed from the rke2 one-liner.
helm install rancher rancher-prime/rancher \ --namespace cattle-system \ --version="2.8.3" \ --set hostname=rancher-prod.xxxxxx.org \ --set bootstrapPassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \ --set tls=external
I tried a few versions, 2.7.x is too old for the rke2 installed so didn't bother to rollback to that
I feel it's supportware and I can't blame suse for that there's a perverse incentive in most software
h
I do not disagree... however their latest trend I do not agree with... I saw in another post that unless we have prime we do not get any updates to 2.8 release after 2.8.5... same method for 2.7 - no new release after 2.7.10 - without prime --- if they want to release to paid customer first that's fine, but not to release at all??
BTW - I do not see any problems with your 
helm install
you just have to make sure RKE2 is supported for rancher 2.8.3 (which is between v1.25-1.28)

I'll have to take a look at k3s before I take another run at rke2 (especially since I just deleted it again this morning and don't want to type all that stuff in again).
h
yep - understood good luck
m
now I have to decide between k3s and rke2 our use case is web sites nothing fancy in fact we don't even need k8s but here we are. I can pick k3s to unify dev and prod and to jump to traefik or read the docs and get scared about security and pick rke2 😑 I'm already not sleeping at night so I guess it doesn't matter
h
We no longer have K3s in our environment (for problems we had with early versions) so I cannot say yes or no for K3s - I just know a lot of people use it
