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

Sad.
I’m still using RancherOS lol
r
have you tried accessing any servers with letsencrypt certs from that? 🙂
m
No, but only because we don’t use LetsEncrypt.
r
yeah, just in case someone you retrieve containers from switches to letsencrypt in the future, you should start looking for something else 🙂
m
Oh are they blocking older Docker distros?
r
no, but letsencrypt switched their certs... september 2021 i think
they're just the canary in the coal mine here 🙂
m
Ah gotcha. Now our Rancher servers are running Oracle linux.
r
your kubernetes nodes you mean?
m
But all our etcd/worker nodes spun by Rancher server are ROS
r
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..

Ah, that’s only RKE2 at the moment?

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.
r
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
p
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

ah, i was looking here when building out my cluster before https://docs.rke2.io/install/requirements/

Wow yea sorry those docs need some love. Ty for the link.

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?
