Answer 1

I met the same problem, then I found this reply on here.

helm init --service-account tiller --override spec.selector.matchLabels.'name'='tiller',spec.selector.matchLabels.'app'='helm' --output yaml | sed 's@apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1@apiVersion: apps/v1@' | kubectl apply -f -

It works for me. You can see the detail in this issue.

Answer 2

• kubectl version: v1.16.0

• helm version: v2.14.3

  minikube start --memory=16384 --cpus=4
  
  helm init --service-account tiller --output yaml | sed 's@apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1@apiVersion: apps/v1@' | sed 's@  replicas: 1@  replicas: 1\n  selector: {"matchLabels": {"app": "helm", "name": "tiller"}}@' | kubectl apply -f -
  
  helm template istio-1.3.3/install/kubernetes/helm/istio-init --name istio-init --namespace istio-system | kubectl apply -f - 
  
  helm template istio-1.3.3/install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system | kubectl apply -f -
  

Answer 3

I ran into the same issue - exactly the same configuration as initial question: Ubuntu version: 18.04 Kubernetes version: 1.16

@shawndodo's answer didn't work for me. There were some issues with the tiller deployment and the tiller pod was not getting created at all!

I tried installing the from canary build as described in Helm docs - https://helm.sh/docs/using_helm/#from-canary-builds

helm init --canary-image --upgrade

This didn't work a couple days ago, but tried again (with newer canary build) and it worked today (20191005).

Whether I run into other issues now using canary build remains to be seen, but I got past the initialisation issue...
