Hosts are the most basic unit of resource within Rancher and is represented as any Linux server, virtual or physical, with the following minimum requirements.
* Any modern Linux distribution with a supported version of Docker.
* Must be able to communicate with the Rancher server via http or https through the pre-configured port (Default is 8080).
* Must be routable to any other hosts belonging to the same environment to leverage Rancher’s cross-host networking for Docker containers.
Rancher also supports Docker Machine and allows you to add your host via any of its supported drivers.
