Azure Kuberentes - Error: failed to download "qlik/qliksense" (...)

[A456B123]

Hello,

I'm in the process of installing Qlik Sense on Azure Kuberentes. I followed the following tutorials for the installation:

Christoph Schwarz 
Qlik 

If I now start installing Qlik Sense with the following PowerShell command

.\helm install -n qliksense qlik/qliksense -f values.yaml --generate name

I get the following error message:

Error: failed to download "qlik/qliksense" (hint: running 'helm repo update' may help)

"helm repo update" does not help.

"helm repo list" returns:

stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com/
qlik-stable https://qlik.bintray.com/stable
qlik-edge https://qlik.bintray.com/edge

The problem occurred in the past when helm 2.14 was used. Here a downgrade helped: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56237898/unknown-object-type-nil-in-secret-data-redis-password

However, I cannot use helm 2.14 because Tiller is no longer supported.

Used versions:
Kubernetes 1.17.0
Helm 3.1.2

Could you please help me?

Thanks a lot

your repository is not qlik, so try:

"qlik-stable/qliksense" instead of "qlik/qliksense"

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your message.

The command

.\helm install -n qliksense qlik-stabel/qliksense -f qliksense.yaml --generate-name

leads to the same error message.

The .yaml file contains the following information (may help to find the problem?):

# just a starting point, no identitiy provider specified

engine:
  acceptEULA: "yes"
  
global:
  persistence:
     storageClass: "azurefile"

devMode:
  ## uses bundled MongoDB CE, not for production use
  enabled: true  

Are there any other points that could cause such problems during installation?

Hi,

You seem to have a spelling error. Should be qlik-stable

Regards.

Thanks for your quick response.

I think we're on the right track. Now I'm getting the following error message:

Error: unable to build kubernetes objects from release manifest: error validating "": error validating data: unknown object type "nil" in Secret.data.redis-password

Apparently, the error has been reported several times, but only when using older Helm versions.

In case others have a similar problem.

Qlik only supports Helm versions between 2.12 and 2.15. Furthermore it only supports Kubernetes versions between 1.1 and 1.16.
