My journey so far making Gitpod play nice with RKE2, and other notes. This is what I've got working in the very small amount of time I have to work on this. Hopefully this helps as a starting point for a more robust and supported Gitpod+RKE2 solution.
This only documents some of the specific configurations, not everything needed to create the cluster itself (e.g., VPC; DNS).
I will update as time permits along the way!
