The control plan and the worker nodes are getting IP from DHCP. we don't have DHCP and i would like to configure static IP on the cluster nodes and control plane. Can you please confirm if that is possible and how can we do that ?

[@fzovko]

Awesome bro. Learned lots my man! Thank you

[@virtualelephant]

Glad to hear it!

[@sambatrasimpliciti]

Hello! good video. I follow your instructions but I loose the connection to the cluster. I have no logs in rancher. The VMs are out of sync : Configuring bootstrap node(s) k8s-controller: waiting for probes: calico

[@RolandoHernandez-bx9cg]

usually this happen when the memory of your server is collapsed, so you can try to check out is this the case

[@AnthonyRoseMBA]

Great video! If you are interested in content suggestions, I would be interested in using Ingress/Load Balancing in Rancher.

[@virtualelephant]

Let spin that up and record a video for you.

[@awrosemba]

Thank you! I would love to know how to allocate addresses for the included Nginx Load balancer so that I can move beyond node port. I suspect that there is a pretty good demand for “mid-level” Kubernetes content. Most of what is out there is on either the microk8s end…or is way too complicated.

Hello,
I am having 3 Ubuntu 22.04 servers
Purpose of installing RKE2 cluster
So I will install 1 master and 2 nodes, right?
How will Rancher be installed? on the master server?
I wonder if you have ever installed the rke2 ubuntu 22.04 cluster?
Help me

[@virtualelephant]

You can run Rancher anywhere that has access to those 3 servers. If you have Docker on your laptop or desktop, you'd be fine to install Rancher there and then deploy your RKE2 cluster to the 3 servers.

Can you show how to install metallb and use it with rancher/hello-world app?

[@virtualelephant]

I’ve never used metallb. Let me see what I can do.

[@rameshpydi6921]

Did you try Rancher desktop with metallb load balancer? Very difficult 😢 . Expose service

[@virtualelephant]

It's been a few years since I've used metalb and felt it was more difficult it needed to be (IMO). I generally use NSX ALB or HAPROXY in my labs.

[@deano_s2k]

2.8.2 my UI is so different, is there an updated version?

[@virtualelephant]

Yes, there is a newer version of Rancher. I've created a newer version of the Rancher video that shows the differences in the UI between the 2023 and 2024 videos.

[@mterrizzi]

why arent you using jammy 22 and using 20 instead?

[@virtualelephant]

In the past, I have had issues with Jammy in a Kubernetes environment. It’s something I should go back and try again.
