For development environments, we recommend installing Rancher by running a single Docker container. In this installation scenario, you'll deploy Rancher to a Linux host using a single Docker container. Then you will configure an external load balancer to work with Rancher.
For development and testing environments that have a special requirement to terminate TLS/SSL at a load balancer instead of your Rancher Server container, deploy Rancher and configure a load balancer to work with it it conjunction. This install procedure walks you through deployment of Rancher using a single container, and then provides a sample configuration for a layer 7 Nginx load balancer.
