The bundled `k3s-versions.json` file generally makes is unneccessary to bundle a custom version unless the user also includes very recent k3s releases not yet included. Even then downloading the latest version from GitHub is the easiest way; it gets updated daily via GHA. Once rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop#8003 is implemented we can get rid of these instructions completely. Commit also updates some sample k3s versions because v1.19 is no longer supported.

This is mostly relevant to air-gapped setups: it is not enough to put a k3s version in the cache directory; it must also be added to
k3s-versions.json. Otherwise the version will be invisible.This is especially error-prone when setting up an offline config. Rancher Desktop will have a bundled
k3s-versions.json, but any newer releases ofk3swill not be included.I think during startup we should add all locally found instances to
k3s-versions.json. That makes it also easier to add unreleasedk3sversions to the cache for pre-release testing.Once implemented the special air-gap instructions for
k3s-versions.jsoncan be removed (see also rancher-sandbox/docs.rancherdesktop.io#409).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
