ok, so: 1. k3os is dead 2. rancheros 1.x is dead rancheros 2 seems to still exist. is that the way forward? the last release seems to be an alpha from december 2021
https://www.reddit.com/r/rancher/comments/uv3x4o/how_raw_is_rancheros_v2/ According to this blogpost, rancheros2 is dead as well. the suggested SLE Micro is paid software and, considering there is not really any constraint on the distro I can use, I dont think I can convince anyone to pay money for that 🙂 Here's the updated list: 1. k3os is dead 2. rancheros 1.x is dead 3. rancheros 2.x is dead 4. openSUSE Kubic is dead

have you tried accessing any servers with letsencrypt certs from that? 🙂

No, but only because we don’t use LetsEncrypt.

yeah, just in case someone you retrieve containers from switches to letsencrypt in the future, you should start looking for something else 🙂

Oh are they blocking older Docker distros?

Ah gotcha. Now our Rancher servers are running Oracle linux.

But all our etcd/worker nodes spun by Rancher server are ROS

yeah those are the important bits when it comes to retrieving images
RKE2 might be different, I don't know
if it terminates TLS inside a container, it's probably fine. but RKE1 definitely does that outside the container

Yeah these are RKE1 clusters
I was really hoping for ROS2. Because I just want a simple distro I can spin and not need to care and feed.
I know the whole boot2docker deprecation and K8s thing also kind of spawned its demise… But we host on-prem via vSphere, and the only way to boostrap those nodes with the vSphere provisioner is boot2docker anyways as far as I’m still aware..

Elemental is set to be the replacement for both k3OS and RancherOS based on SLE Micro. SLE/OpenSUSE Micro is Linux so it should work with any k8s distros.

for the record, I'm now using an ubuntu 22.04 VM template built with packer. works nicely after clearing some roadblocks :)
I have a clear upgrade path, too: just make a new image and replace the nodes in a rolling fashion

just be careful with ubuntu 22.04, i ran into some issues w/ it and had to downgrade to 20.04, which atm is the latest version officially supported by rancher

yeah we're on 2.6.9. Haven't had any issues so far with ubuntu 22.04. What did you encounter, @polite-piano-74233?
