Rancher Server Tags
Rancher server has 2 different tags. For each major release tag, we will provide documentation for the specific version.
rancher/rancher: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/rancher:stable
tag will be our latest stable release builds. This tag is the version that we recommend for production.
Please do not use releases with a rc{n}
suffix. These rc
builds are meant for the Rancher team to test builds.
Latest - v2.0.5 - rancher/rancher:latest
Stable - v2.0.4 - rancher/rancher:stable
Upgrades and Rollbacks
Rancher supports both upgrade and rollback starting with v2.0.2. Please note the version you would like to upgrade or rollback to change the Rancher version.
Any upgrade after v2.0.3, when scaling up workloads, new pods will be created [#14136] - In order to update scheduling rules for workloads [#13527], a new field was added to all workloads on update
, which will cause any pods in workloads from previous versions to re-create.
Note: When rolling back, we are expecting you to rollback to the state at the time of your upgrade. Any changes post upgrade would not be reflected. In the case of rolling back using a Rancher single-node install, you must specify the exact version you want to change the Rancher version to, rather than using the default
:latest
tag.
Note: If you had the helm stable catalog enabled in v2.0.0, we’ve updated the catalog to start pointing directly to the kubernetes helm repo instead of an internal repo. Please delete the custom catalog that is now showing up and re-enable the helm stable. [#13582]
