Configuring local-path where it is predeployed

[CerturiumDev]

I'm using Rancher Desktop 1.6.2 and Kuebernetes version v1.24.7 and I'm trying to install local-path-provisioner 0.0.23 as instructed per README.md but I'm getting the following error:

PS C:\Work> kubectl create -f local-path-storage.yaml
namespace/local-path-storage created
serviceaccount/local-path-provisioner-service-account created
deployment.apps/local-path-provisioner created
configmap/local-path-config created
Error from server (AlreadyExists): error when creating ".\\local-path-storage.old.yaml": clusterroles.rbac.authorization.k8s.io "local-path-provisioner-role" already exists
Error from server (AlreadyExists): error when creating ".\\local-path-storage.old.yaml": clusterrolebindings.rbac.authorization.k8s.io "local-path-provisioner-bind" already exists
Error from server (AlreadyExists): error when creating ".\\local-path-storage.old.yaml": storageclasses.storage.k8s.io "local-path" already exist

It turns out, Rancher Desktop by default already deploys local-path in namespace kube-system (version 0.0.21):

PS C:\Work> kubectl get deployments -A
NAMESPACE            NAME                     READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
kube-system          coredns                  1/1     1            1           25m
kube-system          traefik                  1/1     1            1           25m
kube-system          local-path-provisioner   1/1     1            1           25m
kube-system          metrics-server           1/1     1            1           25m
local-path-storage   local-path-provisioner   0/1     1            0           5m31s

Although it deploys an outdated version where I cannot configure the Config as it is predeployed. I'm using the newly added RWX feature, which is only available in version 0.0.22 and upwards and it additionally requires changing local-path-config (adding sharedFileSystemPath to config.json).

I tried simply applying the config and changing the namespace to kube-system, and indeed it does update it and work fine:

PS C:\Work> kubectl apply -f local-path-storage.yaml
serviceaccount/local-path-provisioner-service-account configured
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/local-path-provisioner-role configured
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/local-path-provisioner-bind configured
deployment.apps/local-path-provisioner configured
storageclass.storage.k8s.io/local-path configured
configmap/local-path-config configured

However, each time rancher is restarted the old version (0.0.21) with the default config (without sharedFileSystemPath, so RWX doesn't work) is deployed again and I need to reapply it all over again. How is this intended to be configured with Rancher Desktop and is there any way to change the version? Thanks in advance.
