How to Install Rancher on a Single Node

Some environments don’t need a high availability install of Rancher to manage Kubernetes. In this video I show the two ways to perform a standalone (non-HA) install of Rancher. One method uses a single-node RKE cluster. The other method uses the Docker container with a persistent volume. Neither of these are the best solution for managing Kubernetes in production, but for K8s in development, sandbox, or low-priority environments, they give you the tools to manage Kubernetes quickly.
