how the HelmCharts upgrade from apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 to apiextensions.k8s.io/v1

[oeular]

when change the apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 to apiextensions.k8s.io/v1, errors occur——
error: error validating "helmchart.yaml": error validating data: [ValidationError(CustomResourceDefinition.spec): unknown field "version" in io.k8s.apiextensions-apiserver.pkg.apis.apiextensions.v1.CustomResourceDefinitionSpec, ValidationError(CustomResourceDefinition.spec): missing required field "versions" in io.k8s.apiextensions-apiserver.pkg.apis.apiextensions.v1.CustomResourceDefinitionSpec]; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false

the original yaml is from https://github.com/k3s-io/helm-controller/blob/master/manifests/deploy-cluster-scoped.yaml
apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: CustomResourceDefinition
metadata:
name: helmcharts.helm.cattle.io
namespace: kube-system
spec:
group: helm.cattle.io
version: v1
names:
kind: HelmChart
plural: helmcharts
singular: helmchart
scope: Cluster

So is the project still maintaining？

[oeular]

ping @brandond I need some help for my issue.

We don't really use that CRD, since the helm controller is usually deployed embedded in RKE2 or K3s, and it will create the CRDs itself using the correct version of the CRD API for whatever cluster it's running on. If you want to use those manifests, just change apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 to apiextensions.k8s.io/v1 if deploying on a Kubernetes version that no longer supports v1beta1 of that API.

And to answer your other question, yes, this project is actively maintained, but only really as a subcomponent of other projects.

@brandond Thanks for your answer.
In fact ,I try to change the version from v1beta1 to v1, but error happens, just as the following:
error: error validating "helmchart.yaml": error validating data: [ValidationError(CustomResourceDefinition.spec): unknown field "version" in io.k8s.apiextensions-apiserver.pkg.apis.apiextensions.v1.CustomResourceDefinitionSpec, ValidationError(CustomResourceDefinition.spec): missing required field "versions" in io.k8s.apiextensions-apiserver.pkg.apis.apiextensions.v1.CustomResourceDefinitionSpec]; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false

the original yaml is from https://github.com/k3s-io/helm-controller/blob/master/manifests/deploy-cluster-scoped.yaml

Hmm, fair enough it may need some additional modifications for more recent versions of Kubernetes.

What are you trying to accomplish? If you run the controller it will generate and load the CRDs during startup; this is how it's usually used.

[oeular]

I want to install helm-controller for installing other helm chats resources in Kubernetes, and only need the helm-controller. So I want to install related CRDs of helm-controller and deploy helm-controller.
And I think helm-controller need to be install with this original method, just as a common controller.

[brandond]

You don't need to install the CRD to deploy the controller. As I said above, the CRD will be created by the controller when it first starts up. I'll leave this issue open so that we can track updating the CRD manifest checked in to this repo, but it should not block you from deploying the controller to your cluster.

[brandond]

I've opened a PR to add a CRD release artifact, in the mean time you can use this:

@brandond Thanks. I will try again as you said.

When start the k3s-helm-controller, something is wrong, logs are here:
E0511 05:13:16.956238 1 reflector.go:126] github.com/rancher/helm-controller/pkg/generated/informers/externalversions/factory.go:117: Failed to list *v1.HelmChart: the server could not find the requested resource (get helmcharts.k3s.cattle.io)

here is my deployment:

And when I use the crds from the above, also something is wrong, logs are here
