Error: could not download chart

[tomreitsma]

While trying to create a rancher server on digital ocean, it fails on the cert-manager step:

module.rancher_common.helm_release.cert_manager: Creating...
╷
│ Error: could not download chart: failed to download "https://charts.jetstack.io/charts/cert-manager-v1.5.3.tgz" at version "v1.5.3"

Are you using the current version or an older one? Currently the module is using cert-manager 1.7.1 (https://github.com/rancher/quickstart/blob/master/do/variables.tf#L47). Nonetheless, the download URL looks correct and works for me. I can also successfully create clusters at DigitalOcean.

The helm chart is downloaded locally where you run Terraform. Are you maybe using some firewall, proxy configuration or virus/malware scanner that blocks the download?

Can you extend the Terraform log level (TF_LOG=debug terraform apply), this should hopefully give some more details on why the download fails.

Hi. I have the same problem with AWS QuickStart template.

Changes to Outputs:
  + workload_node_ip = (known after apply)
module.rancher_common.helm_release.cert_manager: Creating...
╷
│ Error: could not download chart: failed to download "https://charts.jetstack.io/charts/cert-manager-v1.7.1.tgz" at version "v1.7.1"

If I click the link, I can download the chart file. I guess 'terraform.tfvars' file is no problom. When I try above comment, I don't know what should say some logs.

I resolve this error temporary way.

$cd quickstart/aws
$curl -O https://charts.jetstack.io/charts/cert-manager-v1.7.1.tgz
$tar -xvzf cert-manager-v1.7.1.tgz
$curl -O https://releases.rancher.com/server-charts/latest/rancher-2.6.4.tgz
$tar -xvzf rancher-2.6.4.tgz

If someone finds a basic solution, please fix it.

Maybe, you are still running into this one: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-helm/issues/630. Do you already have the jetstack helm repository in you local helm repository index (helm repo list)? Could you try to do a helm repo update and then try running terraform apply again?

I had the same problem and the helm repo update command didn't work, but removing it from the helm repo with helm repo remove jetstack did

I've also faced the same issue with bitnami/redis chart.

│ Error: could not download chart: chart "redis" version "12.5.1" not found in https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami repository
│
│   with helm_release.redis,
│   on redis.tf line 219, in resource "helm_release" "redis":
│  219: resource "helm_release" "redis" {

I was able to resolve this by checking the available versions and using one of the available versions. The cause of the issue is that the version 12.5.1 is not found from the list.

To get the list of available versions, please run.

helm search repo bitnami/redis --versions
