rancher: helm can't download rancher alpha, and stable installation fails on latest k8s
Information about the Cluster
- Kubernetes version: 1.23.2
- Cluster Type (Local/Downstream): local
I just installed a fresh k8s cluster (1.23) on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and wanted to install rancher with helm (v3-8-0), but it failed:
root@master:~# helm repo add rancher-latest https://releases.rancher.com/server-charts/latest
"rancher-latest" has been added to your repositories
root@master:~# kubectl create namespace cattle-system
namespace/cattle-system created
root@master:~# helm install rancher rancher-latest/rancher \
> --namespace cattle-system \
> --set hostname=rancher.my.org \
> --set replicas=3 \
> --set ingress.tls.source=secret
Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: chart requires kubeVersion: < 1.23.0-0 which is incompatible with Kubernetes v1.23.2
The documentation mentions alpha builds, but the adverized download links fail:
root@master:~# helm repo add rancher-alpha https://releases.rancher.com/server-charts/alpha
"rancher-alpha" has been added to your repositories
root@master:~# helm install rancher rancher-alpha/rancher --namespace cattle-system --set replicas=3 --set ingress.tls.source=secret
Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: failed to download "rancher-alpha/rancher"
What are the supported k8s versions and where are they documented?

if you want to use the alpha chart use the --devel flag with helm
hopefully this helps!
Same for me, I did try with docker-desktop and rancher-desktop on macOS.
It would be nice to have an answer on this as rancher-alpha is mentioned in the official documentation but it’s not working as advertised.
$ helm search repo --versions rancher-alpha/rancher No results foundAfter looking around, i.e. google foo, I found the answer..
helm install rancher rancher-latest/rancher --namespace cattle-system --set hostname=$HOSTNAME --set bootstrapPassword=$BOOTSTRAP --version 2.6.4-rc12That’s worth mentioning it in the rancher documentation, isn’t it?
