Please recheck tutorials / functionality

[exocode]

Hi there, Hi Anais, I watched a lot of videos from you and Victor (awesome thank you!) But now I stuck a bit:

Maybe you can point me to the right direction. Maybe it's a noob failure... Maybe I forgot a "switch".

I am trying to follow your tutorial https://www.civo.com/learn/civo-crossplane-provider but I cannot get it working. I described my issue here: https://civo-community.slack.com/archives/C01EDL8C3B8/p1636928614252100

What happened?

After tutorial completed (cluster deployed) I get an error UnknownError

How can we reproduce it?

Simply follow the tutorial / regular installation process. My issue appears when trying to apply the cluster itself.

What environment did it happen in?

Civo

I followed the complete tutorial, I am using Civo cluster instead of a Kind cluster for Crossplane (I also tried Upbound (but that wont work either)). I get this error:

I tried different Helm charts too: (stable, main, devel) and versions 1.4, 1,5 helm install crossplane --namespace crossplane-system --devel crossplane-master/crossplane --version 1.6.0-rc.0.41.g9a312374

helm install crossplane --namespace crossplane-system crossplane-master/crossplane

kubectl get all -n crossplane-system:

Helm was deploying without errors, BUT the cluster creation does not work:

Any help would be AWESOME

Thank you in advance

Hey @exocode sorry for the delayed reply. It seems like this was an issue installing the Crossplane provider through the Helm chart? Please let me know if you are still running into this issue and I am going to try to get someone from Crossplane to look at it. Here are the steps that I follow when setting up my crossplane cluster:

Prerequisites: I just have a simple (medium) Civo Kubernetes cluster

kubectl create namespace crossplane-system

helm repo add crossplane-stable https://charts.crossplane.io/stable
helm repo update

helm install crossplane --namespace crossplane-system crossplane-stable/crossplane

Before proceding further, please make sure that all the crossplane resources are running: kubectl get all -n crossplane-system

Next, I am providing the default provider.yaml and cluster.yaml in the examples directory of this repo through kubectl apply. Note that you have to update the API key in the provider.yaml with your own Civo API key.

Please let me know if anything is unclear. I am going to take another look at the guide.
