Flux: v0.2.0 can't create plugins/flux directory

[joryirving]

Trying to update my flux plugin from v0.1.0-beta-2, and my init container is throwing errors stating it can't overwrite the .json files already existing.

I tried to add a command to delete them first, but got a permission denied, so I just blew away the PVC to start from scratch, and now I'm getting
cp: can't create directory '/build/plugins/flux': Permission denied

This is my updated non-working hr:
https://github.com/joryirving/home-ops/blob/8ea0eaf26d14816aad14266af941f7e4f8855198/kubernetes/apps/base/flux-system/headlamp/helmrelease.yaml

This is my reverted, working hr on the old version:
https://github.com/joryirving/home-ops/blob/ff723a4a7d3ddce3ab7723c8e0d545f9bab24fb5/kubernetes/apps/base/flux-system/headlamp/helmrelease.yaml

I can't find anything in the changelog where I need to do anything other than just bump the version.

I got exactly the same issue, thanks for the tip @joryirving . I also downgraded the version in my repo.

I always use emptyDir, the size of the plugin artefacts is quite small.

Here is the reason why you cannot create a directory under (/): It can only be modified by the root user and the entrypoint is using headlamp user

Here is how to configure the new flux headlamp-plugin-flux:v0.2.0 to work properly by adding securityContext :

initContainers:
    - command:
        - /bin/sh
        - -c
        - mkdir -p /build/plugins && cp -r /plugins/* /build/plugins/
      image: ghcr.io/headlamp-k8s/headlamp-plugin-flux:v0.2.0 
      imagePullPolicy: Always
      name: headlamp-plugins
      securityContext:
        runAsNonRoot: false
        privileged: false
        runAsUser: 0
        runAsGroup: 101

Tried the above & the emptydir as well, not getting success.
