Question

Hello everyone.
I am trying to setup Airbyte on an Ubuntu Server 20.04 with Docker version 20.10.25.
I am following the https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/getting-started/oss-quickstart i have abctl installed however when i run abctl local install the installation is failing on the following:

ERROR Failed to install airbyte/airbyte Helm Chart
ERROR Unable to install Airbyte locally
ERROR unable to install airbyte chart: unable to install helm: pre-upgrade hooks failed: 1 error occurred:
* pod airbyte-abctl-airbyte-bootloader failed

my understanding is that i don’t need to run it in kubernetes for this specific local deployment…is there anything i am missing?
any guidance will be much appreciated.

abctl uses kind cluster (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) under the hood

> https://sigs.k8s.io/kind|kind is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container “nodes”.
> kind was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself, but may be used for local development or CI.

If you want to debug, here’s an instruction

install kubectl (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/#kubectl) and kubectx + kubens (https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx)
install also k9s (https://k9scli.io/)

then execute commands:

KUBECONFIG=~/.airbyte/abctl/abctl.kubeconfig kubectl config view --flatten > ~/.kube/config
kubectx kind-airbyte-abctl
kubens airbyte-abctl```
now you can check pods
`kubectl describe pods` or with `k9s`

thanks for the guidance on this, i will proceed with troubleshooting
