I am trying to do a RancherOS install on my colocated bare metal server at my Data Center. The DC has download the latest rancheros.ios (0.44, I believe), and made it available to my server on CD.
I am able to boot and log in (rancher/rancher) without a problem. I am following this guide: http://docs.rancher.com/os/running-rancheros/server/install-to-disk/
So, I think I understand that I need to create a cloud-config.yml file, I believe I know how to create it, and I think, to get me started, that I need nothing more than my SSH keys. However, therein lies the rub.
My RancherOS.iso does not have any networking, so how is one suppose to get a previously created SSH key into the cloud-config.yml file? OK, so what about creating the key on RancherOS, then simply copying it offâŚno network. Well, then, Iâll just copy and pasteâŚno copy/paste functionality on IPKVM.
What am I missing? I then thought maybe I could leave my server âopen to the worldâ for a few seconds, and log into the new machine with rancher/rancher, until I read this: âAfter you install RancherOS to disk, the rancher/rancher user/password will no longer be valid, unless youâve booted off the ISO again, and youâll need to have added in SSH keys within your cloud config file.â
I searched the forums, and found: How to install RancherOS.?
But, the solution was scpâŚno network, no scp.
Do I really have to manually copy however thousand many characters in an SSH key into the cloud-config.yml file?!
Sorry for not knowing much about RancherOSâŚI am hoping to learn!!
TIA,
