Installing Rancher HA using rke
Please use High Availability (HA) Install to install Rancher in a high-availability configuration.
Building
RKE can be built using the make
command, and will use the scripts in the scripts
directory as subcommands. The default subcommand is ci
and will use scripts/ci
. Cross compiling can be enabled by setting the environment variable CROSS=1
. The compiled binaries can be found in the build/bin
directory. Dependencies are managed by Go modules and can be found in go.mod.
RKE now fetches data.json
from https://github.com/rancher/kontainer-driver-metadata. To fetch data.json and compile it in rke, run
go generate
# Change RANCHER_METADATA_URL to an external URL instead of using https://releases.rancher.com/kontainer-driver-metadata/dev-v2.4/data.json by default
RANCHER_METADATA_URL=${URL} go generate
# Or load it from local file
RANCHER_METATDATA_URL=./local/data.json go generate
# Compile RKE
make
To specify RANCHER_METADATA_URL in runtime, populate the environment variable when running rke CLI. For example:
RANCHER_METADATA_URL=${URL} rke [commands] [options]
RANCHER_METATDATA_URL=${./local/data.json} rke [commands] [options]
RANCHER_METADATA_URL
defaults to https://releases.rancher.com/kontainer-driver-metadata/dev-v2.4/data.json
.
