Does anyone know if it is possible to create projects via yaml? We are looking for a way to automate this, perhaps via argocd ... But somehow i only find solutions via ui oder with this rancher cli tool

Rancher isn't exactly cloud-native unfortunately. Would using an API work for you?

Maybe, I read that i could use the cli tool or direct api calls.

Yeah.. you could find out if Rancher stores anything in etcd, if it doesn't then it should be easy to figure out which resources it creates and simply do it yourself

We checked this. Namespaces just have some annotations. But Projects use some CRD "project". And i dont find any information about this

I'm in the same boat btw 🙂 I also find it infuriating that users, groups and projects get a randomly assigned name i.e. p-df6rf which means the rest of my system needs to be able to be dynamic even though the users are the same in case of rebuilding from scratch

There is a terraform-resource "project"
