This is a new release for the installer with a few new useful features:

  • Helm v3 is now fully supported (as well as continuing support for helm v2), and Helm v3 is now the default installed helm version if the machine that's running doesn't currently already have helm installed. Helm v3 gets rid of tiller, and thus makes installing more stable.
  • When running on linux, starting minikube with vm-driver=none is now fully supported. This uses your machine's local docker daemon to spin up a chain, rather than building a bulky VM for kubernetes. This is highly recommended if running on something such as a VPS, or somewhere where you can't use virtualbox
  • We now use rancher's local-path-provisioner for storing data, which means that your chain's persistent data will no longer be saved in the /tmp directory. This was a necessary step to allow running with vm-driver=none, however it also means that if you upgrade an existing chain originally installed with this tool, its data will be cleared
  • Arm64 has gained experimental support (only with the vm-driver=none option). This is not yet fully working because minikube still has some issues running on arm64, however we expect this to be solved and supported at some future point
  • Resuming an installation after you've put in a configuration is now supported. This means that if you started an installation, put in all your configuration, and then the installation failed, you will be able to much more quickly retry without having to re-enter all the same configuration details. This also means you can upgrade a single chain installed with this tool without re-entering its details as well

Please note that this installer is still in active development. If you have any issues or feedback, please let us know!
