K8s 1.16 deprecates extensions/v1beta1 for apiVersion, breaking the Helm charts

The current Helm charts don’t work with Kubernetes 1.16, apparently because of the apiVersion deprecation:

The v1.16 release will stop serving the following deprecated API versions in favor of newer and more stable API versions: …

• DaemonSet, Deployment, StatefulSet, and ReplicaSet (in the extensions/v1beta1 and apps/v1beta2 API groups)
  • Migrate to use the apps/v1 API, available since v1.9. Existing persisted data can be retrieved/updated via the apps/v1 API.

The initial error I get is:

% microk8s.helm install jupyterhub/binderhub --version=0.2.0-c04966f --name=binder-test --namespace=binder-test -f secret.yaml -f config.yaml
Error: validation failed: [unable to recognize "": no matches for kind "DaemonSet" in version "extensions/v1beta1", unable to recognize "": no matches for kind "Deployment" in version "extensions/v1beta1"]

I’m new to K8s, Helm and Binder. I tried replacing the versions with apps/v1, after downloading the helm charts, but that gives another error:

% wget https://jupyterhub.github.io/helm-chart/binderhub-0.2.0-c04966f.tgz
% tar zxf binderhub-0.2.0-c04966f.tgz
% grep extensions/v1beta1 binderhub -RlZ | xargs -0 grep -lZ -e DaemonSet -e Deployment -e StatefulSet -e ReplicaSet | xargs -0 sed -i '/^apiVersion/s:extensions/v1beta1:apps/v1:'
% helm install --name=binder-test --namespace=binder-test -f secret.yaml -f config.yaml ./binderhub
Error: release binder-test failed: Deployment.apps "binder" is invalid: [spec.selector: Required value, spec.template.metadata.labels: Invalid value: map[string]string{"app":"binder", "component":"binder", "heritage":"Tiller", "name":"binder", "release":"binder-test"}: `selector` does not match template `labels`]

I’m new to K8s, Helm and Binder. Not sure what else to do except downgrade K8s. I’m using microk8s, so that should be relatively straightforward.

ah, I didn’t realise that PR was related (too many things in too many repos with “1.16 compatibility” in the name 😉)

@betatim yepp this is backward compatible to 1.11 or so I think. (UPDATE: 1.9 is OK still.)
