Install CSI driver with Helm 3

Prerequisites

• install Helm

Tips

• install csi snapshot controller: --set externalSnapshotter.enabled=true
• run controller on control plane node: --set controller.runOnControlPlane=true
• set replica of controller as 2: --set controller.replicas=2
• Microk8s based kubernetes recommended settings(refer to https://microk8s.io/docs/nfs):
  • --set controller.dnsPolicy=ClusterFirstWithHostNet with --set node.dnsPolicy=ClusterFirstWithHostNet - external smb server cannot be found based on Default dns.
  • --set kubeletDir="/var/snap/microk8s/common/var/lib/kubelet" - sets correct path to microk8s kubelet even though a user has a folder link to it.

install a specific version

helm repo add csi-driver-nfs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs/master/charts
helm install csi-driver-nfs csi-driver-nfs/csi-driver-nfs --namespace kube-system --version v4.9.0

install driver with customized driver name, deployment name

only supported from v3.1.0+

• following example would install a driver with name nfs2

helm install csi-driver-nfs2 csi-driver-nfs/csi-driver-nfs --namespace kube-system --set driver.name="nfs2.csi.k8s.io" --set controller.name="csi-nfs2-controller" --set rbac.name=nfs2 --set serviceAccount.controller=csi-nfs2-controller-sa --set serviceAccount.node=csi-nfs2-node-sa --set node.name=csi-nfs2-node --set node.livenessProbe.healthPort=39653

search for all available chart versions

helm search repo -l csi-driver-nfs

uninstall CSI driver

helm uninstall csi-driver-nfs -n kube-system
