Rancher RKE2 configuration

This page was written using the following versions:

• epinio helm chart 0.7.1
• RKE2 version v1.22.7+rke2r2

Create an RKE2 cluster

If you don't have an existing cluster, follow the quickstart to create an RKE2 cluster.

RKE2 Prerequisites

• A load-balancer is mandatory for Epinio to work on RKE2. Here MetalLB was used as load-balancer. See Provision of External IP for LoadBalancer service type in Kubernetes for more information.

Installation

Beside advanced installation options, there are two ways of installing Epinio:

1. Installation using a MagicDNS Service

• For test environments. This should work on nearly any kubernetes distribution. Epinio will try to automatically create a magic DNS domain, e.g. 10.0.0.1.omg.howdoi.website.

2. DNS setup

• For test and production environments. You will define a system domain, e.g. test.example.com.

Then, continue with the Epinio installation process.
