vSphere nodes Waiting for SSH

Rancher 2.x
1

Hi, everyone . I’m new to the Rancher universe and i’m trying to deploy Kubernetes cluster on top of an vSphere infrastructure.
I have two nodes templates using rancheros-vmware iso.
I Provide a cloud-config.yml file with just a SSH Key.

Rancher Version

[v2.2.2]

Config-File

ssh_authorized_keys:

  • ssh-rsa [My-Key]

So I get my nodes into provisionning state, stuck on Waiting for SSH to be available…
From the host running Rancher container, I can ssh the nodes created as rancher user, but it asks for password.
Also the .ssh/authorized_keys from both root and rancher is empty (not created).

Do you guys have any idea ?

Kind Regards.

I’m running into the same issue. No idea on how to get this to work…

Same issue here as well, even without providing a custom cloud-config.yml. It keeps being stuck on “Waiting for SSH to be available…”. After a while, it looks like some timeouts happen, and it tries again from the beginning, but without any better luck. Using Rancher 2.3.2.

I know this is quite an old thread, but is there any chance to receive some hints in order to solve this issue?

Same issue here… would be great to have some help.

Error creating machine: Error running provisioning: ssh command error: command: sudo systemctl -f start docker err: exit status 1 output: Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

Found this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker.io/+bug/1844894

After a fresh install with docker never installed - this issue is resolved. docker installs.

In my case (rancher v2.5.5) the provisioner is trying to login as the docker user, but that user doesn’t exist on the provisioned node. The docker install doesn’t seem to add it, so where is that user meant to come from?
