Root Cause

The Helm chart references an old API version (v1beta1) that was removed in Kubernetes 1.22+, causing CRD installation to fail.

generic

中文

Helm chart 引用了旧版 API（v1beta1），该版本在 Kubernetes 1.22+ 中被移除，导致 CRD 安装失败。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Update the Helm chart to use apiextensions.k8s.io/v1: run `helm pull chart-name --untar`, edit the CRD YAML to change `apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` to `apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1`, then `helm upgrade --install` with the local chart.

中文步骤

  1. 更新 Helm chart 使用 apiextensions.k8s.io/v1：运行 `helm pull chart-name --untar`，编辑 CRD YAML 将 `apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` 改为 `apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1`，然后使用本地 chart 执行 `helm upgrade --install`。
  2. 使用更新版本的 chart：`helm repo update && helm upgrade my-release chart-name --version <新版本>`。
  3. 如果 chart 不再维护，使用 `kubectl convert` 或迁移工具（如 kubepug）手动转换 CRD。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Downgrading the Kubernetes cluster to an older version to support v1beta1 95% fail

    Downgrading a cluster is complex and risky; it's better to update the chart.

  2. Manually editing the cluster's API server flags to re-enable v1beta1 100% fail

    The v1beta1 CRD API was fully removed in 1.22+; no flag can restore it.
