@remotejob try a server side apply

k apply -f https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg/releases/download/v1.22.3/cnpg-1.22.3.yaml --server-side

[remotejob]

Thanks. OK

As I understand I can't change the default PORT

postgresql:
parameters:
port: "5431"

The Cluster "cluster-pg" is invalid: spec.postgresql.parameters.port: Invalid value: "5431": Can't set fixed configuration parameter

Anyway Result for install was:

  Please review the fields above--they currently have other managers. Here
  are the ways you can resolve this warning:

• If you intend to manage all of these fields, please re-run the apply
  command with the --force-conflicts flag.
• If you do not intend to manage all of the fields, please edit your
  manifest to remove references to the fields that should keep their
  current managers.
• You may co-own fields by updating your manifest to match the existing
  value; in this case, you'll become the manager if the other manager(s)
  stop managing the field (remove it from their configuration).
  See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/server-side-apply/#conflicts

So my question: How resolve conflicts or I can continue without resolve ?

[christiaangoossens]

Can confirm this error happens, specifically through ArgoCD. Server-side apply applies it fine.

It also happens at my environment, back to 1.22.1 is OK

Version
1.23.1

What version of Kubernetes are you using?
1.26.4

What is your Kubernetes environment?

How did you install the operator?

for argocd @christiaangoossens, enabling - ServerSideApply=true works

We can confirm this issue on a MicroK8s cluster, channel 1.29 (Kubernetes v1.29), with the provided cloudnative-pg addon, starting from cloudnative-pg version 1.22.2

The CustomResourceDefinition "poolers.postgresql.cnpg.io" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes

Cloudnative-pg versions 1.22.2, 1.22.3, 1.23.0 and 1.23.1 show the same behaviour.

We modified the mentioned MicroK8s addon enable script manually (/var/snap/microk8s/common/addons/community/addons/cloudnative-pg/enable) by adding --server-side to line 42:
apply_wait=$("${SNAP_DATA}"/bin/kubectl-cnpg install generate | $KUBECTL apply --server-side -f - > /dev/null) and the addon installed without error.

However, do we need to change it to server side apply permanently or are there any ideas to fix this, to keep on client side apply?
Comparison with Client-Side Apply

Edit: Ohhh I have missed the change notes in release 1.22.2. Therefor I guess cloudnative-pg will stay on server side apply.
