#Trident Installation (offline) Using Helm - CSI image tag issue

Hi, We're attempting to install trident using the helm chart, in an aks cluster running k8s v 1.27.

We've pushed the required images for k8s v1.27 mentioned in the docs https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/trident/trident-get-started/requirements.html#storage-system-configuration.

However, when we install the helm chart (v24.02.0), we see that the trident controller pods are trying to pull the latest version of the csi images. For example, pulling csi-resizer:v1.9.3 instead of v1.9.0.

Is there a way we can pass our k8s version, or the desired csi image tags? We could retag the images incorrectly- tag 1.9.0 as 1.9.3- in our registry, but want to avoid a hacky solution if possible.

Many thanks!
Ben

Requirements

Before installing Astra Trident you should review these general system requirements. Specific backends might have additional requirements.

can't you just put the version it wants into your private registry? i.e. 1.9.3 instead of 1.9.0?

We could, but ideally we want to keep in-line with what the docs say we should be using for our version of k8s @misty nest

yeah, but I'm not sure the docs are up-to-date in that regard 🤷‍♂️ I would rather trust the code than the docs tbh 🙂

Yeah, tbh it seems like the best option. I also tried editing the pod post start up to point at the correct images and that does the trick too, so could potentially bootstrap a script to do this. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something in the helm chart values that takes care of this issue for me

My operator install on a 1.28 k8s also pulled 1.9.3 instead of the listed 1.9.0. I'm working to get confirmation on whether the software is doing the right thing and the docs are wrong, or if the docs are right and software is wrong. I'll let you know what I find out.

@wary willow , can you post the output of:
kubectl describe pod trident-controller-<fill_in_the_rest> -n trident |grep Image:

@midnight timber did you got any confirmation?

No, but i was reminded of the "tridentctl images" command and it shows the same version that Trident installed. My money (if I were a betting man) would be on a problem with the documentation.

@midnight timber sorry for necroing but yeah it seems the docs need tweaking or an option in the helm chart to set tags for csi related images
