Hi, is RKE2 supported at all on Alma 8.6? I realize the release docs state that Rocky 8 is support, and not Alma.

It has not been validated on Alma, so not officially supported. There shouldn’t necessarily be anything technical from restricting that though, so you’re welcome to try to use it there, but your mileage may vary since we haven’t officially validated it there

Thanks Max, I appreciate the feedback.
Are there any plans to officially validate Rancher against Alma?

Somewhat — it got pushed to the backlog a year ago and hasn’t seen traction since then: https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/1177

Finally, did you try with Alma 8.6 ? I need to read how we can add the os on the github project

I did try with Alma 8.6 and it fails almost immediately.
journalctl -xe
shows it’s failing at getting the certificates
The specific error is as follows:
Nov 16 17:07:33 lcs-alma8-k8-0 rancher-system-agent[5855]: time="2022-11-16T17:07:33-05:00" level=error msg="error while appending ca cert to pool for probe kube-scheduler"

I will try tomorrow on my platform.
I tried with the 1.24 version. It works. How did you deploy rke2 ?

I just used the register command
Copy/Pasta
How did you deploy RKE2 via Rancher to Alma8?

Nope I deploy directly rke2 on alma. I will try with rancher, maybe the week or the next.
