Unable to deploy operator : no matches for kind \"Pooler\"

[Ludea]

I try to install operator with helm and default values, but get:

the exact commands you used to install it would be useful.

I deploy chart through argocd

[laibe]

yes cnpg via argocd is broken because of

CustomResourceDefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io "poolers.postgresql.cnpg.io" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: may not be more than 262144 bytes

[oprimogus]

I saw this issue https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/charts/issues/325 and tried to apply

- ServerSideApply=true
- ForceApply=true

but still same here

Failed sync attempt to 0.23.2: one or more objects failed to apply, reason: CustomResourceDefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io "poolers.postgresql.cnpg.io" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes (retried 5 times).

obs: k3s + srgocd

If someone wants a quick fix while waiting for official support from dev, try this kustomize patches:

patches:
  - target:
      kind: CustomResourceDefinition
    patch: |-
      - op: add
        path: /metadata/annotations/argocd.argoproj.io~1sync-options
        value: ServerSideApply=true

Any news on this?

The manifests is required to use serverSide https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg/releases/tag/v1.22.2 this has been know for a year now, closing
