Rancher server has 2 different tags. For each major release tag, we will provide documentation for the specific version.
rancher/server:latest tag will be our latest development builds. These builds will have been validated through our CI automation framework. These releases are not meant for deployment in production.
rancher/server:stable tag will be our latest stable release builds. This tag is the version that we recommend for production.
Please do not use any release with a rc{n} suffix. These rc builds are meant for the Rancher team to test out builds.
@danielmutch307 we have an announcements category that is specifically made for announcing latest releases. If you watch the category, anytime there is a new release, you will get an email about it.
The upgrade doc is too hidden i think, i was searching for some minutes ago to get the link … Maybe you can add this link in the Rancher Admin gui directly, like “an update is available. To update, check this doc” ?
And pin in the rancher forum : “How to upgrade Rancher”
The new graphs stink. The mini graphs are only outlines and the color is not filled in, and when I drill down into the actual container the graphs don’t even show up. Notice me Senpai!
Just today (August 03, 2016) I did ‘sudo docker run -d --restart=always -p 8080:8080 rancher/server’ and ‘docker exec’ into the container and saw that ‘env | grep RANCHER’ i have a ‘CATTLE_RANCHER_SERVER_VERSION=v1.1.2’. So, I guess, the ‘latest’ tag of the image in hub.docker.com is not updated?
Our latest stable release of Rancher (v1.1.2) is now what is tagged as rancher/server:latest. We have had many users who had upgraded to latest when they only wanted our latest stable release.
Going forward, users will need to tag any specific dev builds (anything tagged with pre).
