I am using the rancher image on docker using ssh onto a local machine. On adding a new custom host, although the terminal command gets executed successfully, I still cannot see a host in the ui.

Terminal command:

I tried looking at the network logs and found something fishy.

I tried using the dockerIP, and the eth0IP when creating a custom host.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It looks like this might be the problem. On your host, you are using a 172.17 address, but your Rancher server is using a 192.168 network. What is the docker run command you are using on the host? Do you specify the CATTLE\_IP option as the 192 IP?

the docker command to run the server:  
sudo docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 8080:8080 rancher/server

and to run the host (on the same machine as the server):  
sudo docker run --rm --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /var/lib/rancher:/var/lib/rancher rancher/agent:v1.2.9 [http://192.168.0.245:8080/v1/scripts/D4F0919FFDBE5BD81B10:1514678400000:2QwlDn0meNJruDZfIw8BLtH8aY](http://192.168.0.245:8080/v1/scripts/D4F0919FFDBE5BD81B10:1514678400000:2QwlDn0meNJruDZfIw8BLtH8aY)
