I have an RKE2 cluster setup on 3 nodes (bare metal) and am having a very difficult time configuring persistent local storage. Ive been looking online and see all these very complicated configurations of Longhorn + MetalLB etc. Additionally we have kubernetes in the cloud where we dont run into these storage issues. I am kindly asking for any help on a solution that will work for bare metal install. I have a dev team trying to use this rke2 cluster but we are held up on this storage issue. Thanks for any help.

longhorn + metallb sounds like a feasible baremetal solution to me
there’s alternatives, but most will be implemented similarly (as far as being complicated)

We are running on-premise as well, and found that using a simple dynamic storage provisioner works well with an NFS export outside of the cluster.
