# rke2
c
I followed the instructions downloading the tar.gz files, the install.sh script, the sha256sum text files, etc. Placed them in a directory called /rke2artifacts, then as root ran 
INSTALL_RKE2_ARTIFACT_PATH=/rke2artifacts sh install.sh
. That appears to go just fine and I can see that the tar files end up in /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/images. However, when I start the rke2-server service, it keeps trying to pull down images from docker.io which since this is an airgap install I don't think that should be happening (and obviously won't work).
c
if it is failing because it cannot pull things from docker hub then you didn’t get all the right image tarballs.
figure out which tarballs contain the images you’re missing, and make sure you have them on your node.
c
I can see that the images it's pulling are the ones in those tarballs though when I look at the containerd logs
well, trying to pull
c
what makes you think it’s failing because it can’t pull images
c
containerd.log in /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/containerd has constant attempting to pull docker.io/rancher/someimage messages and corresponding failure messages
c
show a list of the files you’ve got on your node, and the logs showing it trying to pull them
the rke2 logs will show what images it imports, right after it starts containerd
if you don’t see the images being imported during startup then you don’t have the right tarballs
c
I'm looking through the beginning logs of the rke2-server service start to see if I can see what you are referring to. To get the log messages it will take a few as I'd have to scrub them and clear them from moving off the airgapped network to this machine
I should be able to get you a list of what I downloaded though pretty quickly

Those are the files with their sha256sums
I am aware that there may be some in there that won't be used but I didn't think that would be a problem. The instructions really only seem to say that the main tar.gz file I need is the rke2.linux-amd64.tar.gz. I did want to use traefik though, for example, so I grabbed that one since nginx is the default ingress
c
you’re sure that those are from the correct release of rke2? They don’t have versions in the filenames so it can be hard to tell.
the logs will tell you what’s going on though.
also note that you don’t need the text files? I’m not sure why you’d grab those.
c
I'm not sure why I grabbed the txt files either other than at least 2 of the txt files are required, right?
the sha256 sum and the rke2-images-all.linux-amd64.txt?
In the logs, it just goes through extracting charts, extracting manifests, updating manifests and then it starts containerd and immediately goes into "Pulling images from rke2-images-all.linux-amd64.txt" and starts failing to pull stuff
Is that txt file the problem, perhaps? I thought I only grabbed because I was getting a failure without it but I'll try starting up without it
well.. I think that one txt file actually was the problem as this time starting up the logs look MUCH better. Thank you for your help, I think this solved it!
c
no, you don’t need any of the text files. just the tarballs with the images, and the tarball with the binary and systemd units
c
it complains if the sha256 one isn't there because it uses that to verify
c
if you give it text files it tries to pull every image in the text file, even if its already in a tarball. those are meant to be used for preloading from a registry - if you want to make sure all the images are there before it starts.
oh sure you need the checksum file but not any of the image lists
c
but you are correct about the others and I didn't realize that
