Helm Chart 1.66.1 is missing

[jmazzitelli]

We are missing helm charts for v1.66.1 ... see https://kiali.org/helm-charts/index.yaml

That is currently listed as the most recent version to support Istio 1.17 --> https://kiali.io/docs/installation/installation-guide/prerequisites/#version-compatibility

So we should have both server and operator helm charts for 1.66.1. Somehow, when we fixed 1.66.0 to remove the perf regression, we didn't release a helm chart 1.66.1 with those server changes.

thanks a lot for the super quick fix! appreciated!

Possibly related: The kiali-operator docker image for 1.66.1 referenced in the Helm chart doesn't seem to be available on quay.io. I'm getting the error below.

Error response from daemon: manifest for quay.io/kiali/kiali-operator:v1.66.1 not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

There was no v1.66.1 for the operator - only the server was built due to the hot-fix of the server-side performance issue.

As a workaround for now, you can use the v1.66.0 helm chart to install v1.66.0 operator and then in the Kiali CR you can tell the operator to deploy the 1.66.1 server via --set deployment.image_version=1.66.1 (this requires you to install the operator via the allowAdHocKialiImage set to true.

I'll see if we can push a new tag to just copy the operator v1.66.0 -> v1.66.1 (there were no operator changes, so a tag should be all that is needed to get that operator helm chart to work)

@taisph try it now.. there is now a v1.66.1 image on quay:

Ah. I was fiddling with version instead of image_version in the CR to work around it and couldn't get it to work.

Anyway, the image works and I was able to get 1.66.1 running. Thank you!
