A new version of check_rancher2, an #opensource monitoring-plugin for #Kubernetes clusters managed by @SUSE Rancher, is now available!

Version 1.13.0 introduces a new check type "api-token" to monitor the #API token expiry used by the plugin.

Since #Rancher 2.8, the API tokens are (by default) set to expire after 3 months. With this new check type you can do a pro-active #monitoring on the API token, before it expires (and avoid your monitoring going blank).

OrbStack und K9S - irgendwie ziemlich cool... nun muss ich nur noch rausfinden, was ich alles schoenes damit machen kann.... #orbstack #rancher #k9s #k8s

Found some stuff to make #Rancher Desktop a smoother replacement for #Docker Desktop:

export DOCKER_HOST=unix://$HOME/.rd/docker.sock
export TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=/var/run/docker.sock
export TESTCONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE=$(rdctl shell ip a show vznat | awk '/inet / {sub("/.*",""); print $2}')

With this, there is no longer a need to check the "ask for admin/sudo" access checkbox , which bugs you every time there's a restart.

Upgrade #Rancher ASAP

A vulnerability has been identified within Rancher where a Restricted Administrator can change the password of Administrators and take over their accounts.

Forget #Gold and #Silver! #FeederCattle is the world's most expensive & overbought commodity market. 🐄📈 Prices are record-high at $2.85/lb and #hedgefunds are all bulled up with a record Non-Commercial net long position (+23,438 contracts). Good time to be a #rancher. 🤠

This week a critical security vulnerability in #Kubernetes, dubbed "#IngressNightmare", was published.

As we are using #Rancher managed Kubernetes clusters ourselves, we share our analysis in our latest #blog post.

How Rancher RKE clusters are affected, how the #vulnerability can be mitigated and when a fix can be expected.

Here's the interesting thing about that, though: It is *not* currently possible to run an Elemental downstream cluster in Harvester, but it should be possible to deploy a TalosLinux cluster on Harvester, though not as a Rancher downstream cluster, by provision nor adoption, since Rancher agent very much assumes you're running k3s/RKE2. But you could just spin up Talos VMs in Harvester with bridged networking, etc, and it should work.

#Kubernetes #Rancher #TalosLinux

Someone at SCaLE asked me about running #Rancher on #TalosLinux. Strictly speaking, it should be possible in #Harvester since I remember getting it to run in Eucalyptus. It is possible to do #Longhorn in Talos as well, but I don't know about k3s/RKE2, but it doesn't seem practical (or possible, or in any way supported) to do that over Sidero Metal for Talos or SLEMicro for Rancher.

Do you know what time it is?

It's #Rancher time.

I swear #Rancher Academy courses (at least one of em I'm taking rn) has diminished in quality? I'm taking the same course I already took a few times already bcos I was always too busy to finish it, and I'm already well versed with the subject so it's kinda hard to keep my attention, but the course format/delivery has changed and this time.. I don't think anyone not familiar with the subject could even understand what's being taught i.e. #Kubernetes. I'm pretty sure they were much better before.

The learning materials are incredibly simplified and the one teaching is mostly only repeating what's on them and not elaborating anything, they try to make the video "professional" with a promotional-material-like quality to it (audio, no casual talk, etc.) yet done no audio editing to remove all the awkward saliva, swallowing sounds and the loud, screeching interference etc. There also just some minor improvements that could've been made - for example, it's really unnecessary to demonstrate writing a yaml manifest using nano when they could use a graphical text editor to make the code easier to read and write (esp considering the importance of indentations in yamls) - especially since the course prerequisites already requires a graphical app to be installed (hence, it's not like the course is catered/meant to be followed on a headless machine).

I'm very happy we went with #Rancher for our #Kubernetes platform. It's far from perfect, but it certainly gets the job done.

#SUSE

#Rancher/#RKE2 #Kubernetes cluster question - I don't need Rancher, but in the past with my RKE2 clusters, I normally deploy Rancher on a single VM using #Docker just for the sake of having some sort of UI for my cluster(s) if need be - with this setup, I'm relying on importing the downstream (RKE 2) cluster(s) onto said Rancher deployment. That worked well.

This time round though, I tried deploying Rancher on the cluster itself, instead of an external VM, using #Helm. Rancher's pretty beefy and heavy to deploy even with a single replica, and from my limited testing I found that it's easier to deploy when your cluster's pretty new and not have much resources running just yet.

What I'm curious about tho are these errors - my cluster's fine, and I'm not seeing anything wrong with it, but ever since deploying it a few days ago, I'm constantly seeing these Liveness/Readiness probe failed error on all 3 of my Master nodes (periodically most of the time, not all at once) - the same error also seems to include etcd failed: reason withheld. What does it mean, and how do I "address" it?

"Dude, they're selling a Dockerfile for $300, it's a fucking scam"

"Holy fuck dude $1,000 for a «Team» version? Are they trying to defraud somebody?"

Uh... one of my #Proxmox nodes exploded... wtf 😂

I was running the #Rancher cleanup script, to remove Rancher from my #Kubernetes cluster (was experimenting something), and left it. After a while I noticed that the cluster wasn't reachable. Then I checked Proxmox and saw that the node (which is also the one hosting my primary Master node of my cluster) was offline.

I went to the room and saw that the PC's power button's lights weren't on and the fans weren't running. I pressed it, and the fans started running for a while, then it sort of went quiet. I pressed it again, and then something just popped within the PC and all the motherboard lights went off.

I've no fucking idea what happened, and what damage was done (I really hope it's just the PSU) but I'm just gonna let it sit and check it later ​:blobfoxangrylaugh:​
