hi, i was trying to join a rke2 server node to the initial rke2 server node, but everytime i tried this, the initial server got stuck, i was able to get the

ps

before it become unresponsive:

after a while, i was logged off from the ssh connection:

client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe

the server spec looks fine: each server has 6 physical cores, 64gb memory os: ubuntu 22.04 rke2 version: latest stable anyone knows what could be wrong? happy to provider any info

have you looked at

journalctl -u rke2-server

I was logged off from the server for being stuck too long and not able to ssh into it again. I tried a few times, all with the same result

Oh! Then you need to look at the console.

No, since you cannot SSH back into the server, you need to login via the server console and look

got you, thanks for the info. unfortunately the service provider i use doesn't provide console login. but luckily i was able to pin down the root cause and fix it -- it was due to a network / ip issue, thanks for the help!
