How can one leverage a CNI besides Canal? about rke2-ansible HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for the help @DanielKuzmenkoo !

Hello.
I did this in my air-gapped environment with ansible templates.
I made a variable called "cni_chioce" and gave it either canal or calico
if its canal, you can proceed with this playbook as canal is the default option.
if It's calico, you need to configure in /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml

 cni:
    - calico
  disable:
    - rke2-canal
    - rke2-kube-proxy
    

you will also need to download the image of calico from here according to your version
https://github.com/rancher/rke2/releases
Hope it helps!

Thanks @DanielKuzmenkoo, I appreciate the message. I take it the Calico images need to be placed in the same location as the other images that the playbook put in place?

I also noticed that there are three different rke2_config blocks in various places in the playbook. I assume all of them need to be updated? Thinking the server and agent blocks at a minimum are necessary.

@DanielKuzmenkoo, how did you adjust /var/lib/rancher/rke2/server/manifests/rke2-calico.yaml? I believe this is the file that Rancher uses to install Calico.

Comparing an air-gapped installation to one that has access to the internet shows that this file doesn't exist after the air-gapped installation, suggesting that it is downloaded from somewhere. How did you switch your air gapped installation to use Calico?

Hello again.
I added a task that copies with the calico images that can be downloaded from the release page here
And I added Jinja template that will configure the rke2-config if I chose calico or canal and copy the relevant configuration.
I will post tomorrow the tasks that I have been working on, hope it will help
