I am having an issue installing Rancher on a freshly created cluster (that was spun up using jaxxstorm/pulumi-rke). I get the following: kubernetes:certmanager.k8s.io:Issuer (rancher/rancher): error: creation of resource rancher/rancher failed because the Kubernetes API server reported that the apiVersion for this resource does not exist. Verify that any required CRDs have been created: no matches for kind “Issuer” in version “certmanager.k8s.io/v1alpha1”

export function setUpK8sProvider(rkeCluster: rke.Cluster): k8s.Provider {
  return new k8s.Provider("rancherCluster", {
    cluster: rkeCluster.clusterName,
    kubeconfig: rkeCluster.kubeConfigYaml
  }, { dependsOn: rkeCluster })
}

export function createNamespace(clusterProvider: k8s.Provider): k8s.core.v1.Namespace {
  return new k8s.core.v1.Namespace("cert-manager", {
    metadata: {
      name: "cert-manager",
      labels: {"<http://certmanager.k8s.io/disable-validation|certmanager.k8s.io/disable-validation>": "true" }
    }
  }, { provider: clusterProvider, dependsOn: [clusterProvider] })
}

export function createCertManager(certManagerNamespace: k8s.core.v1.Namespace, clusterProvider: k8s.Provider): k8s.helm.v3.Chart {
  return new k8s.helm.v2.Chart(
    'cert-manager',
    {
      chart: 'cert-manager',
      version: 'v0.15.1',
      namespace: certManagerNamespace.metadata.name,
      values: {
        installCRDs: true,
      },
      fetchOpts: {
        repo: '<https://charts.jetstack.io>',
      },
    },
    {
      dependsOn: certManagerNamespace,
      provider: clusterProvider
    },
  );
}

export function createRancherServer(serverName: string, clusterProvider: k8s.Provider, certManager: k8s.helm.v3.Chart): k8s.helm.v3.Chart {
  let namespace = new k8s.core.v1.Namespace("rancher", {
    metadata: {
      name: "rancher",
    }
  }, { provider: clusterProvider, dependsOn: [certManager] })

  return new k8s.helm.v2.Chart(serverName, {
    chart: "rancher",
    namespace: namespace.metadata.name,
    fetchOpts: {
      repo: "<https://releases.rancher.com/server-charts/stable>"
    },
    values: {
      "hostname": "<http://rancher.mydomain.com|rancher.mydomain.com>",
      "ingress.tls.source": "letsEncrypt",
      "letsEncrypt.email": "<mailto:myemail@mydomain.com|myemail@mydomain.com>"
    }
  }, { provider: clusterProvider, dependsOn: [namespace] })
}

Any idea where I’m going wrong perhaps?

the answer says what went wrong, you don’t have the

Issuer

CRD installed.

which version of helm are you using? the latest kubernetes provider should install the CRDs for you if you're using

helm v3.1+

the helm hooks “worked” in 2 also because of retries, fwiw

Thanks for the responses @billowy-army-68599 @creamy-potato-29402 I am using version: version.BuildInfo{Version:“v3.2.1”, GitCommit:“fe51cd1e31e6a202cba7dead9552a6d418ded79a”, GitTreeState:“clean”, GoVersion:“go1.13.10"} I figured it would install the CRD for me because I set installCRDs to true
