Failed to start manager

[nrichardson-akasa]

I keep getting the following error

I've verified all the RBAC has been successfully deployed I've verified the Traefik CRDs are deployed (and can successfully hit an IngressRoute deployed for the Dashboard) Verified cert-manager and external-dns are successfully deployed My values.yaml for the helm chart (version 0.5.5)

integrations:
  externalDNS:
    enabled: true
    targetService:
      name: external-dns
      namespace: external-dns
  certManger:
    enabled: true
    certificateTemplate:
      spec:
        issuerRef:
          kind: ClusterIssuer
          name: cluster-issuer

Not sure what I'm missing here

Hey @nrichardson-akasa! Sorry to hear that you have problems. Which version of Switchboard are you using?

[nrichardson-akasa]

I'm using v0.5.5 of the Helm chart

[nrichardson-akasa]

After some further debugging, I've narrowed it down to the externalDNS integration (if I disable externalDNS and enable certManger, it starts fine). It seems I'm supposed to point it to the Traefik service, not externalDNS service, but that still fails (with the following config)

integrations:
  externalDNS:
    enabled: true
    targetService:
      name: traefik
      namespace: traefik

Found the issue finally. I compiled the source code myself and added Development level logging for the controller-runtime package and found out it was because the external-dns CRDs were not installed. I was using the external-dns helm chart from https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns while you are expecting it from Bitnami. The non-Bitnami chart does NOT have the option to install crds directly, therefore I was getting errors. I uninstalled the previous Helm chart and switched and now everything seems to be running! Might want to make a note of that for others and/or have the option for debug logging inside the controller-runtime.

Glad you figured it out! I think, we can add a hint in the README and add some logging. I'd appreciate if you could open a PR, otherwise, I'll do it in the next few weeks/months 😄
