Upgrade GreptimeDB Operator

You can upgrade the GreptimeDB Operator at any time without impacting your managed GreptimeDB instances. This guide details the steps to upgrade an existing GreptimeDB Operator installation using Helm, specifically from version 0.2.1 to the latest version.

Verify the existing Operator installation.​

First, verify the health and status of all Operator pods using:

kubectl get pods -n greptimedb-admin

If the Operator was installed in a custom namespace, replace greptimedb-admin with your specific namespace using -n <NAMESPACE>.

Next, view the installed Helm charts in the namespace:

helm list -n greptimedb-admin

You should see output similar to this:

NAME               	NAMESPACE          	REVISION	UPDATED                                	STATUS  	CHART                    	APP VERSION
operator	        greptimedb-admin    1       	2024-08-30 08:04:53.388756424 +0000 UTC	deployed	greptimedb-operator-0.2.1	0.1.0-alpha.28

The Operator is currently installed with version 0.1.0-alpha.28 using the greptimedb-operator-0.2.1 chart.

Update the Operator repository​

Update the GreptimeDB Operator Helm repository to fetch the latest charts:

helm repo update greptimedb-operator

If you used a different alias when adding the repository, replace greptimedb-operator with that alias. You can review your Helm repositories with:

helm repo list

Check the latest available chart version:

helm search repo greptimedb-operator

You should see output similar to this:

NAME                        	CHART VERSION	APP VERSION   	DESCRIPTION
greptime/greptimedb-operator	0.2.3        	0.1.0-alpha.29	The greptimedb-operator Helm chart for Kubernetes.

Upgrade the Operator version​

Use Helm to upgrade the GreptimeDB Operator to the latest version:

helm upgrade -n greptimedb-admin \
  operator greptime/greptimedb-operator

If the Operator is installed in a different namespace, specify it with the -n argument. Additionally, if you used a different installation name than operator, replace operator in the command.

The command should return a successful upgrade with an incremented REVISION value.

Verify the Operator upgrade​

To confirm the upgrade, run the following command:

kubectl get pod -l 'app.kubernetes.io/name=operator' -n greptimedb-admin -o json | jq '.items[0].spec.containers[0].image'

You should see the following output, indicating that the Operator has been successfully upgraded to the latest version:

"docker.io/greptime/greptimedb-operator:v0.1.0-alpha.29"
