Comments on How to Manage Docker Containers with Rancher on Ubuntu

Rancher is an open source container management platform. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install and configure Rancher on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. We will install Rancher on an Ubuntu server, enable local authentication, add the rancher host, and then try to run single container application from Rancher Dashboard.

After the installation is complete, start the docker service and enable it to run everytime at system boot.

sudo systemctl start docker // sudosudo systemctl enable docker // sudo

The Docker is now installed and running on our rancher host - check it using the command below.

sudo systemctl status docker //sudodocker --version

After installing Rancher 2.5 in a single node, Ubunbtu 18.04 (VM on vSphere), I installed Guacamole and NextCloud. Everything working fine. Then I had a power failure. The Ubuntu came back but was in read-only file mode. I fixed that with 'recovery mode' and FSCK. Now Guacamole & NextCloud still work, but I was only getting "error 404 default backend" when trying to reach Rancher GUI. I power off the VM and today when I restarted, I still have access to Guacamole & NextCloud and now access to Rancher GUI! But I got "etcd is unhealty" but then it went away and as I tried to navigate the Rancher GUI I got "network error" and the GUI (Rancher website) goes blank. What to look for? how to fix this?
