 This section describes how to install a Kubernetes cluster according to our [best practices for the Rancher server environment.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/overview/architecture-recommendations/#environment-for-kubernetes-installations) This cluster should be dedicated to run only the Rancher server.
 
 For Rancher prior to v2.4, Rancher should be installed on an [RKE]({{<baseurl>}}/rke/latest/en/) (Rancher Kubernetes Engine) Kubernetes cluster. RKE is a CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution that runs entirely within Docker containers.

 Rancher supports air gap installs using a private registry. You must have your own private registry or other means of distributing Docker images to your machines.
 
+In a later step, when you set up your K3s Kubernetes cluster, you will create a [private registries configuration file]({{<baseurl>}}/k3s/latest/en/installation/private-registry/) with details from this registry.

 If you need help with creating a private registry, please refer to the [official Docker documentation.](https://docs.docker.com/registry/deploying/#run-an-externally-accessible-registry)
