Running on ARM64 (Experimental) |
:::caution
Running on an ARM64 platform is currently an experimental feature and is not yet officially supported in Rancher. Therefore, we do not recommend using ARM64 based nodes in a production environment.
:::
The following options are available when using an ARM64 platform:
-
Running Rancher on ARM64 based node(s)
- Only for Docker Install. Please note that the following installation command replaces the examples found in the Docker Install link:
# In the last line `rancher/rancher:vX.Y.Z`, be certain to replace "X.Y.Z" with a released version in which ARM64 builds exist. For example, if your matching version is v2.5.8, you would fill in this line with `rancher/rancher:v2.5.8`. docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped \ -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \ --privileged \ rancher/rancher:vX.Y.Z
:::note
To check if your specific released version is compatible with the ARM64 architecture, you may navigate to your version's release notes in the following two ways:
- Manually find your version using https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases.
- Go directly to your version using the tag and the specific version number. If you plan to use v2.5.8, for example, you may navigate to https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.5.8.
:::
- Create custom cluster and adding ARM64 based node(s)
- Kubernetes cluster version must be 1.12 or higher
- CNI Network Provider must be Flannel
- Importing clusters that contain ARM64 based nodes
- Kubernetes cluster version must be 1.12 or higher
Please see Cluster Options how to configure the cluster options.
The following features are not tested:
- Monitoring, alerts, notifiers, pipelines and logging
- Launching apps from the catalog
