11/09/2022, 5:37 PMI see that Rancher OSv2 bundled Rancher Manger in some configurations: https://rancher.github.io/os2/#use-cases
Any plans to pre-install Rancher on Elemental or must I do that myself?

11/09/2022, 5:53 PMHi Chris. This has aged (looking into it). You should look at https://rancher.github.io/elemental/
if you don't want to take care to install / manage Rancher (Manager) there are options with an Hosted Rancher and AWS Marketplace appliance
otherwise you need to install Rancher Manager

11/09/2022, 5:59 PMWe have chatted a little bit about providing an "all-in-one" image that would start k3s (and potentially set up Rancher) on boot but we need to get more input on what the use-case is before we can add it to a roadmap.
Would you mind opening an issue in https://github.com/rancher/elemental/issues with some more details about what you are trying to achieve? This would help us understand what needs to be built.

11/09/2022, 6:00 PMThink an issue is necessary? I just thought it would be convenient to not have to configure Rancher myself if it could just be bundled w/ the image

11/09/2022, 6:01 PMthere are many possibilities (vm, metal, clouds, etc...)
a quick getting started is a one node K3s (one line) and standard helm install of Rancher (2/3 lines)
(not production recommended though)
there is also Rancher in civo marketplace

I haven't used RancherOS v2, since it seems like Elemental replaces it. Perhaps there were limitations of that previous "light" Rancher install (e.g. not production recommended)
I think it's fine to install Rancher myself, or use the several cloud/hosted solutions as you suggested. It just seemed like a nice feature that I couldn't find in the docs anymore

11/09/2022, 6:09 PMYes, Elemental replaces os2 (as well as RancherOS and k3os). We should have added redirects from the older projects when we made the switch but that got overlooked.

11/09/2022, 6:09 PMYeah, really need some redirects. It took me a while to realize all those were deprecated
