Playbook stuck while starting the RKE2 service on agents

[leon-andria]

Summary

In the troubleshooting section here: https://github.com/lablabs/ansible-role-rke2#troubleshooting, it mentions that it might be a network limitation.

The problem is that the RKE2 script is never executed on the agent which has condition with the variable installed_rke2_version. While that variable is depends on condition "rke2-server.service" in ansible_facts.services.

Below is the changes I made to fix the issue:

Before the Run AirGap RKE2 scripttask (

ansible-role-rke2/tasks/rke2.yml

Line 91 in dc6d426

- name: Run AirGap RKE2 script

), I added the following tasks by checking that the rke2 binary path exists and don't relying on this line

ansible-role-rke2/tasks/rke2.yml

Line 89 in dc6d426

when: '"rke2-server.service" in ansible_facts.services'

.

- name: Check rke2 bin exists
  ansible.builtin.stat:
    path: "{{ rke2_bin_path }}"
  register: rke2_exists

- name: Check RKE2 version
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    set -o pipefail
    {{ rke2_bin_path }} --version | grep -E "rke2 version" | awk '{print $3}'
  args:
    executable: /bin/bash
  changed_when: false
  register: installed_rke2_version
  when: rke2_exists.stat.exists

Steps to Reproduce

- name: Deploy RKE2
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  vars:
    rke2_version: v1.26.0+rke2r2    
    rke2_api_ip : 192.168.1.10
    rke2_download_kubeconf: true    
    rke2_server_node_taints:
      - 'CriticalAddonsOnly=true:NoExecute'
    rke2_cni:
      - cilium
  roles:
     - role: lablabs.rke2

[masters]
master-01 ansible_host=192.168.1.10 rke2_type=server
master-02 ansible_host=192.168.1.11 rke2_type=server
master-03 ansible_host=192.168.1.12 rke2_type=server

[workers]
worker-01 ansible_host=192.168.1.20 rke2_type=agent
worker-02 ansible_host=192.168.1.21 rke2_type=agent

[k8s_cluster:children]
masters
workers

Expected Results

Worker nodes should be provisioned if the rke2.sh script have been executed on the following task

ansible-role-rke2/tasks/rke2.yml

Line 100 in dc6d426

- name: Run RKE2 script

Actual Results

It's just hanging until timeout.

I tried your changes as described but they didn't work for me (airgapped, 3 workers, HA mode). I still had to run the RKE2 agent script by hand (on the workers). The install scripts runs correctly and the binaries exist but the execution of the agent service didnt (or its creation)
