Instrcutions:

There are 3 steps involved in migrating the reloader from Helm2 to Helm3.

Step 1:

Install the helm-2to3 plugin

helm3 plugin install https://github.com/helm/helm-2to3

helm3 2to3 convert <release-name>

helm3 2to3 cleanup --release-cleanup --skip-confirmation

Step 2:

Annotations:

meta.helm.sh/release-name=<release-name>
meta.helm.sh/release-namespace=<namespace>

For example, to label and annotate the ClusterRoleBinding and ClusterRole:

KIND=ClusterRoleBinding
NAME=reloader-reloader-role-binding
RELEASE=reloader
NAMESPACE=kube-system
kubectl annotate $KIND $NAME meta.helm.sh/release-name=$RELEASE
kubectl annotate $KIND $NAME meta.helm.sh/release-namespace=$NAMESPACE
kubectl label $KIND $NAME app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=Helm

KIND=ClusterRole
NAME=reloader-reloader-role
RELEASE=reloader
NAMESPACE=kube-system
kubectl annotate $KIND $NAME meta.helm.sh/release-name=$RELEASE
kubectl annotate $KIND $NAME meta.helm.sh/release-namespace=$NAMESPACE
kubectl label $KIND $NAME app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=Helm

Step 3:
