Hi,

I’m having problems with a very big image which kubelet is unable to pull in 2 minutes, which is the default timeout.

I would like to increase the timeout for my cluster, which runs using the Rancher Docker container (rancher/rancher v. 2.4.13).

The kubelet option I would like to use is “runtime-request-timeout”, which has to be passed as a CLI parameter. Is there any way I can pass this option to the kubelet container when it starts?

Thank you.

Hi,

Did you get a resolution to this?

Also it appears the command line flag has been depreciated and is now a kubelet config flag, does anyone have an example of this being applied?

Thanks

Ant

I am stuck with the same requirement for pulling larger images.Does rancher have the option to set the kubelet config while adding cluster to it?
