Unable to install Elastic 8.1.x using Helm

djarami726 · July 25, 2022, 3:59pm

I've spent days trying to get an 8.x working and it is all over the place. I'm using the examples in the helm-charts repo and read the documentation and I still can't come up with a working combination.

using this as a starting config and get a copy of it locally.

helm install elasticsearch elastic/elasticsearch -f ./values.yaml --set imageTag=8.1.0

I then get an exception:

I go through the docs with regards to node.roles with 8.x and I put this in the values.yaml:
`node.roles: [ master ]` and get this exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [node.master] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings

Also tried the 7.x style and get the next exception

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [node.ml] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings

Then I tried this and got the same exception

Is there a working scenario for helm charts with 8.x - please point me to a working example - not the documentation because that doesn't work. Documentation with examples is much more helpful especially for the not so experts or the ones starting up.

Welcome to our community!

The helm charts don't support 8.X as yet unfortunately, please follow Elastic 8.x charts? · Issue #1594 · elastic/helm-charts · GitHub for future updates.
