I know the documentation “says” I can install using RancherOS, Ubuntu, Centos7 - however, I have an Asus-based tower and I cannot get Rancher to work consistently as a single stack install. Server has 500GB & 2TB & 3TB HDDs and 32GB ram and 6-core CPU. While I have no problem with any of the OS installs (other than RancherOS), I cannot get docker or rancher to install successfully on any distro. I am beginning to think there is a firmware or driver issue with my box.
On Centos7 I got it to install using 7.2 and the upstream latest version of docker, but it didn’t behave well with the NICs and I kept losing external access to port 8080.
On RancherOS - I couldn’t get rancher/server to activate - errors kept spilling to the console even when trying to use docker logs to see what was the problem.
On Ubuntu I get a core dump after the database is loaded and the server echos out the environment variables and ends with a coredump in the OpenJDK.
I’m not a newbie to any *nix distros, but this has me very frustrated. Centos 7.2 got me the furthest, but I spent two days trying to debug the firewall and IPs with no success.
Any suggestions on how to isolate the issues?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions …
