microk8s addon upgrade

[gioargyr]

Dear canonical Developers,

I am trying to find a safe way to upgrade all the enabled addons, and it seems to me there is none.

I found several topics/issues where updating the addons is discussed, but no real documentation about it, and no good answer on how to do it.

The most well structured advice is the following:

• disable the addon (so it is disabled with the current disable script)
• upgrade core addons repo (which is not upgraded by upgrading microk8s, but it needs separate action)
• re-enable the addon

First, this logic is totally intrusive.
Second, I just confirmed that if I disable minio in microk8s version 1.28, the PVC that supports minio is deleted by default !!!

I guess, you imagine the disaster in this case, right? Thank God I took a backup. But, even in this case, are you expecting us to re-setup all service accounts in minio and all the buckets just because we need to upgrade the application?

Can you verify that this is the status about upgrading addons?
Am I missing something?

Based on the current situation, my plan is to use the least number of microk8s addons possible, as I really cannot maintain them.

Kind regards,
Georgios

I've had better luck not using any of the addons and manually installing things as needed
