Installation

Harvester can be installed using the ISO image, a bootable USB drive, and PXE boot. A net install ISO image, which contains only the core OS components, is also now available. For more information, see the Installation section of the documentation.

Important

Starting with v1.7.0, the installation process includes a mandatory step for configuring the login password for the default rancher user account.

Upgrades

Harvester only allows upgrades from supported versions. For more information about upgrade paths and procedures, see Upgrading Harvester.

Important

Harvester v1.7 transitions from wicked to NetworkManager for network management. If the management interface configuration was modified after installation, manual steps are required before upgrading to prevent errors. For more information, see Migration from wicked to NetworkManager.
