Bug Report

Description

When deploying by Helm, I encounter an error related to the namespace creation.

Logs

[myuser@mynode ~]$ helm upgrade -i --namespace=csi-proxmox -f proxmox-csi.yaml proxmox-csi-plugin oci://ghcr.io/sergelogvinov/charts/proxmox-csi-plugin

Environment

• Plugin version: 0.1.9
• Kubernetes version:

Client Version: v1.27.3
Kustomize Version: v5.0.1
Server Version: v1.27.6

Additional infos

• Before installing, I ensure that the namespace csi-proxmox doesn't exist
• When I create the name before the Helm install, the installation succeeds
  Here the file I used for creating the namespace :

# csi-ns.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: csi-proxmox
  labels:
    pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce: privileged
    pod-security.kubernetes.io/audit: baseline
    pod-security.kubernetes.io/warn: baseline
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
  annotations:
    meta.helm.sh/release-name: proxmox-csi-plugin
    meta.helm.sh/release-namespace: csi-proxmox

• When I add the --create-namespace=true, the namespace is created but I have another error :

[myuser@mynode ~]$ helm upgrade --create-namespace=csi-proxmox -i --namespace=csi-proxmox -f proxmox-csi.yaml proxmox-csi-plugin oci://ghcr.io/sergelogvinov/charts/proxmox-csi-plugin

FYI, I also use Ansible to deploy my Kubernetes assets. Here is my functionnal deployment :

I want to remove the "create namespace" part as you do it with your chart.

[sergelogvinov]

@LeoShivas Thank you for the good solution. Yep, creating a namespace with Helm can be a bit tricky. helm/helm#3503

I had the same paint with it. So we can add disable option like

createNamespace: false

[sergelogvinov]

helm install checked - done
