Unrecognized option '--comand=/etc/timescaledb/scripts/restore_or_initdb.sh'

What happened?

While upgrading our stack, we encountered an issue with upgrading from pg14.9-ts2.12.2 to pg14.10-ts2.13.0:

Did you expect to see something different?

We anticipate that the pod containing TimescaleDB will initiate without any problems.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Set:

tag: pg14.10-ts2.13.0

in the timescaledb-single Helm chart.

Environment

• Which helm chart and what version are you using?

timescaledb-single 0.33.1

• What is in your values.yaml ?

All values can be found here:

https://github.com/cloudentity/acp-on-k8s/blob/main/infrastructure/timescaledb/base/release.yaml#L18

• Kubernetes version information:

1.27.3

• Kubernetes cluster kind:

Kind

The problem started with the images updated on Nov 29, 2023.

Assuming something has changed with the base build and helm charts either need to be updated or have a problem with the build?

For anyone else stuck with this.

You can deploy with an older version, then update and re-deploy. (Nov 5, 2023 images seem ok)

I got it working by deploying pg15-ts2.12-all and then updating to pg15-all.

I use the timescaledev/timescaledb-ha image because it has an arm build.

So, the dates and version may be different for the default image.

However, I don't know if these charts are maintained anymore. (See #596)

We are facing the same problem while trying to install pg15-ts2.12-all

Our workaround was to install pg15-ts2.13-all
