Rancher 2.x fails to start on some Linux machines

Open adamkpickering opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Actual Behavior

Test case 7 on the test plan states the following:

nerdctl run --privileged -d --restart=no -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 rancher/rancher

Note: Sometimes it takes a few sec till you can see the page at https://localhost:8443/ after the nerdctl run .. command is run. If you see Page cannot be displayed in browser, please wait for few sec and try again.

While doing testing it was found that Rancher 2.x could not be installed in this manner. It just ran for a long time and never started. I tried increasing the number of processors available to each VM from 2 to 4 and it still failed. Each machine was allocated 8GB of memory. I did look at the logs, and I remember that it appeared that something different was failing each time. Unfortunately I did not keep any of them. However I should be able to reproduce the issue if needed.

Steps to Reproduce

Follow test case 7 on the test plan.

Result

Rancher never comes up - it just times out.

Expected Behavior

I expected Rancher to come up without issue.

Additional Information

This issue occurred in three different VMs running:

  • Rocky 8
  • Fedora 35
  • Ubuntu 22.04

RD was installed via AppImage on Fedora and Rocky. It was installed via deb on Ubuntu.

Everyone but me got it working fine. So it may be something with my environment?

Just tested this again - it is still failing on Fedora 35 and 36 when testing with the 1.5.1 AppImage.
