 --namespace cattle-system \
 --set hostname=rancher.my.org \

Upgrade RKE2 (Each node, not Admin!)

sudo curl -sfL https://get.rke2.io | INSTALL_RKE2_CHANNEL=latest sh -

then servers:

sudo systemctl restart rke2-server

or agents

sudo systemctl restart rke2-agent

Upgrade K3S (Each node, not Admin!)
