Sorry if this has been asked before but I can’t seem to find it here. I’m new to Rancher and I’m just trying to get an initial install going following the directions for “Installing Rancher on a Kubernetes Cluster” using RKE.

When I get to the part about helm init I get failures:  
Adding stable repo with URL: [https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com](https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com)  
Error: error initializing: Looks like “xxxxxxxxx” is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached: Get xxxxxxxxx/index.yaml: read tcp 10.1.53.150:39692-\>172.217.10.112:443: read: connection reset by peer

However I can reach that location on both 80 and 443.

I found a workaround:  
cat \<\< EOF \>\> ~/.helm/repository/repositories.yaml  
apiVersion: v1  
repositories:

- caFile: “”  
cache: ~/.helm/repository/cache/stable-index.yaml  
certFile: “”  
keyFile: “”  
name: stable  
password: “”  
url:see URL above  
username: “”
- caFile: “”  
cache: ~/.helm/repository/cache/local-index.yaml  
certFile: “”  
keyFile: “”  
name: local  
password: “”  
url: [http://127.0.0.1:8879/charts](http://127.0.0.1:8879/charts)  
username: “”  
EOF

which seemed to work, however we eventually get this state:  
tiller-deploy-67cd845dff-qdr8q 0/1 ErrImagePull 0 5h33

for reference:
