I want to configure RancherOS host to run as a node in K8’s cluster.  
Are there any manuals for how to do it correctly?  
So far I found only this one [https://medium.com/@imikushin/running-kubernetes-cluster-on-rancheros-b2bd1308eb6d](https://medium.com/@imikushin/running-kubernetes-cluster-on-rancheros-b2bd1308eb6d)

But it’s 3 years old, so I not sure if anything has changed in the process or if there is some other way.

Found the answer in the recent Rancher meetup, going to try the new [rke](https://github.com/rancher/rke).

rke (v0.0.8-dev) initially seemed to work, i.e. i was able to create working cluster.

But, after reboot the RancherOS node can’t join the cluster because kube-proxy and kubelet containers are failing to start. kubelet has this error in the log:

error: failed to run Kubelet: invalid kubeconfig: stat /etc/kubernetes/ssl/kubecfg-kube-node.yaml: no such file or directory

Is there a bug or RancherOS is not supported by rke yet?
