05/06/2025, 1:52 PMSLMicro versions are handled differently than regular SLMicro. Elemental has not released 6.1 version yet. You can deploy 6.0 channel for now.

05/06/2025, 1:57 PMthanks for the answer! I don't understand why it is not working out of the box? I just pressed button in the UI to install the operator

05/06/2025, 2:00 PMlooks like 6.0 also not working

05/06/2025, 2:00 PMBy out of the box, do you mean that the OS channels did not load?

05/06/2025, 2:02 PMIs your Rancher airgapped? If you go to Advanced->OS Version Channels What do you have listed? Did you populate it or did it auto-populate?

05/06/2025, 2:03 PMOh, my system has 6.1, looks like they released that channel.

1. run new instance of rancher in the docker
2. install elemental extension
3. install elemental operator
actual result: no OS Versions. can't generate seed image

05/06/2025, 2:04 PMAre you testing? Running rancher in podman/docker is not a production supported method. I'm not sure if elemental will work in a docker deployment of rancher.

05/06/2025, 2:08 PMI see the synchronization failed errors, but again, I'm not sure if elemental extension is tested to work on rancher deployed using docker.

Docker Install
For test and demonstration purposes, Rancher can be installed with Docker on a single node. A local Kubernetes cluster is installed in the single Docker container, and Rancher is installed on the local cluster.mysterious-animal-29850
