@creamy-pencil-82913 Will appreciate for your comment. I've been stuck with it last three months, trying to figure out how to fix it..

when you installed rancher did you enable the

useBundledSystemChart

flag

@damp-painting-69352 I run Rancher in docker, below command I used to spin up Rancher: docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped --privileged -p 80:80 -p 8443:443 -p 8081:80 -e CATTLE_SYSTEM_CATALOG=bundled artifactdev.us.platforms.dev/registry-1.docker.io-approved/rancher/rancher:v2.7.0

I've not setup rancher in docker, you can setup a k3s or HA k3s cluster. Other notes on a k8s rancher deployment is that the local cluster will have one additional chart repo by default

@damp-painting-69352 thank you for your comment, but how to install istio on imported RKE2 cluster without private repository, charts/files are bundled to Rancher, but how to use them to install istio on RKE2 cluster? Yes I tried set up private registry and I can curl to index file, but looks like Rancher can't see the file:

you can use the Custom resource called HelmChart, and include a base64 encoded version of the chart. https://docs.k3s.io/helm#using-the-helm-crd otherwise there are too many things i do not know to give a perfect answer use
