helm install qliksense | secrets already exists

Question

I am pretty new to kubernetes. I run a kubernetes cluster on EKS (AWS). When installing QlikSense on kubernetes I receive the following error.

command:

helm install -n qliksense qlik/qliksense -f values.yaml

error:

Error: release qliksense failed: secrets "qliksense-nats-secret" already exists

Any idea how to solve this? Thank you!

Answer 1

I tried using Helm v2.14.3 and it worked for me, however I was installing in a cluster running on Docker for Mac. Here are some more detailed steps...

1. Uninstall...

   helm delete --purge qliksense
   

2. Download the old Helm version v2.14.3 and overwrite existing local helm and tiller applications from this link.

3. Re-initialize helm which will update version of tiller in the cluster

   helm init --force-upgrade --upgrade
   

4. Verify that helm and tiller are 2.14.3

   helm version
   

5. Try to install again.
