Error on install docker-registry to custom namespace

[janfrederik]

Error message when installing docker-registry to a specific namespace, using ark install docker-registry -n myregistry.

Expected Behaviour

The docker registry should be installed in the namespace myregistry.

Current Behaviour

Error message:

Error: to override the "default", install via tiller

Install without specifying a namespace works like a charm.

Seems to be by design currently: https://github.com/alexellis/arkade/blob/405b09a74d502385f95d0b7ab666d649ca2fa179/cmd/apps/registry_app.go#L58-L61

I see. But why? Would be logic to be able to install to a different namespace.

[alexellis]

@janfrederik are you willing to send a PR and test it?

[janfrederik]

are you willing to send a PR and test it? @alexellis Alas, I have no knowledge of Go and no experience with building and testing arkade. I could make a PR leaving out the lines 59-61 that @rgee0 quoted above, but that's all.

I have an eBook on Go that you may find useful, if you want to do the PR, send me an email to [email protected] for a 50% discount on the premium edition.

You need to clone the code Change the lines Run go build Then test the new arkade binary that was created with a different namespace

Following that, create a fork, sync your changes and send a PR up.
