  • Deploy Nginx Load Balancer for Rancher
    1 project | dev.to | 4 Apr 2024
  • Install RKE2 with Cilium and Metallb
    3 projects | dev.to | 3 Apr 2024
    In this essay, we showed how to use Rancher rke2 to deploy a Kubernetes cluster with 6 Debian nodes with firewall enabled. We've also covered deploying Cilium as a CNI for our cluster and have it completely replace kube-proxy so as to increase speed and gain more observability via Cilium tools. This article also showed how to deploy Metallb to manage IP pools and load balance traffic for those IP pools. Throughout this guide, we assumed that we have an external load balancer that will distribute traffic to our workload and control plane nodes. For further information please visit rke2 official documents: "https://docs.rke2.io/".
  • 5-Step Approach: Projectsveltos for Kubernetes add-on deployment and management on RKE2
    5 projects | dev.to | 18 Dec 2023
    In this blog post, we will demonstrate how easy and fast it is to deploy Sveltos on an RKE2 cluster with the help of ArgoCD, register two RKE2 Cluster API (CAPI) clusters and create a ClusterProfile to deploy Prometheus and Grafana Helm charts down the managed CAPI clusters.

    Did something happen to the Apache 2 rancher? https://github.com/rancher/rancher/blob/v2.7.5/LICENSE RKE2 is similarly Apache 2: https://github.com/rancher/rke2/blob/v1.26.7%2Brke2r1/LICENS...

    To provision all of my clusters, I use Rancher with RKE2. The primary Rancher server is hosted on a bootstrapped RKE2 cluster running on a VPS.
  • Golang is evil on shitty networks
    21 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Dec 2022
    Golang has burned me more than once with bizarre design decisions that break things in a user hostile way.

    The last one we ran into was a change in Go 1.15 where servers that presented a TLS certificate with the hostname encoded into the CN field instead of the more appropriate SAN field always fail validation.

    The behavior could be disabled however that functionality was removed in 1.18 with no way to opt back into the old behavior. I understand why SAN is the right way to do it but in this case I didn’t control the server.

    Developers at Google probably never have to deal with 3rd parties with shitty infrastructure but a lot of us do.

    Here’s a bug in rke that’s related https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/775

  • Documentation on how to deploy an RKE2 cluster with rancher?
    1 project | /r/rancher | 20 Dec 2022
  • K3s or RKE2?
    3 projects | /r/kubernetes | 10 Dec 2022
    just looking at this myself. I think k3s has more support for arm, but looking through the github repo there are a lot of bugs indicating its a mess. RKE2 seems to be their big push, they also have a github issue open that has been open for the last 2 releases that they are going to add a update path from k3s to rke2. https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/881
