Hi All 👋 , Using the Ranger UI I’m trying to create a cluster on Digitalocean using RKE2. I want to install Digitaloceans own cloud provider to enable loadbalancer creation and such, but when I switch the cloud provider setting to

external

the cluster fails to install. Do I need to add a

Cloud Provider Config

in the field that comes up?

you need to put a manifest to deploy the digital ocean cloud provider in the additional manifests section. the “cloud provider config” section is only for if you’re using a built-in cloud provider.

if you don’t want to deploy it as an additional manifest, you’ll need to log in to one of the server nodes and deploy the cloud provider manually

Thanks for your reply! I almost gave up 😬 .. I just found a post here on slack of someone else posting a similar solution, but it doesn’t seem to have an effect. I would like to try and apply it manually to see if that works, but I don’t know how to apply that. There is no

kubectl

there is, you just need to put it in your path

💯 1

export

PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin/ KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/rke2/rke2.yaml

If you have a manifest that you can apply with kubectl, its probably easier to just paste that in to the rancher UI though, and let the installer handle it for you

That’s what I did. No success 😕

where in the UI did you put it

In the

Add-on Config

section

Down at the bottom, under Additional Manifest?

Yes

That should be the correct place for it.

Did you put it there when you originally created the cluster, or did you add it after the fact?

Before. Fresh cluster

Hmm. You might check the logs on the server nodes to see if there were any errors deploying the manifest

or if it did get deployed, see if there are errors in the pod logs

I just tried

kubectl get nodes

on one of the nodes but getting

The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

sounds like you didn’t export the kubeconfig path as I suggested up above

Ah it seems to have applied the config

Thanks for the help @creamy-pencil-82913. This will help me on my way. #LifeSaver

CreateContainerConfigError looks wrong though

suggests something in your manifest is invalid

Yeah I checked the logs. I’m missing a secret 🤓
