Use bundled kubectl and ctr

rke2 ships its own kubectl/crictl/ctr under /var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin, not in $PATH by default

export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/rke2/rke2.yaml && rke2 ctr images ls

  • Configure and start rke2-server
    printf 'token: <id>\ntls-san:\n - <host>\n' > /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml && systemctl enable --now rke2-server
