if you are struggling getting infrastructure set up and are good with AWS, check out https://github.com/rancher/terraform-aws-rke2 It is under documented and I am developing features for it, but the goal is a holistic, production worthy solution.

my targets are not aws, but my home lab. Also I really want to learn how to deploy/configure all this on-premise once I get the home lab up. There are so many deployment instructions out there on the internet. I followed one, got it to work, and then deleted and started over to make sure it was reproduceable. Repeated all the steps, but am unable to bring up the AWX webpage. A couple of other webservers are listening, but they all report back 404 not found. If you are willing to help, I am happy to show detailed output as to what's going on.

AWX?
m
yes

sorry, what does AWX stand for?

this is my whole purpose for attempting k3s. I think the k3s stuff is working mostly ok. I can see a few things out there with kubectl list
that's a good question. AWX is the upstream project to Ansible Automation Platform
redhat is no longer open source, otherwise I'd just build AAP from source code.
but navigating and customizing k3s, this is difficult for me

this might help a bit: https://github.com/rancher/terraform-local-rke2-config I wrote validation for every config option in the variables.tf
It is not up to date with the latest flags and options, but thankfully the config format doesn't change very often. It just means that it may have config options that are now deprecated and it may not have newer config options.
At the very least it may help you understand the expected input types

Thanks, I will take a look at this. Maybe there is something in the config layout that can help me. BTW I've been working on this all afternoon, I can build a single node k3s with awx now. Docs are very sketchy about removing old credentials if you delete an app from k3s, but I was able to fix by spinning up a new vm with a fresh OS. Just wish learning this wasn't so damned difficult. Vendors used to have a lot of tutorials and examples in their documentation -- not so anymore, so one loses context when reading the docs, and context is everything. Thanks for your help.
