Resource naming changes in Rancher Prime v2.13.1 Helm installation

Article Number: 000022266

Environment

  • Rancher Prime v2.13.1 Helm installation

Situation

In Rancher Prime v2.13.1, the Helm chart name was initially released as rancher-prime instead of rancher. Due to the internal logic of the Helm chart, this change caused deployed resources (such as the Deployment, Service, and Ingress) to be named rancher-rancher-prime by default, rather than the legacy rancher name.

Cause

This behavior is driven by the rancher.fullname logic within the Rancher Helm chart.

  • Previous Versions: Both the Release Name (rancher) and the Chart Name (rancher) matched. The rancher.fullname template simplifies the name to just rancher when these two strings are identical.
  • v2.13.1: In the initial Helm chart, the Release Name (rancher) no longer matched the new Chart Name (rancher-prime), the template concatenated them, resulting in rancher-rancher-prime.

Resolution

To mitigate this behaviour, a Helm chart with the existing naming convention (rancher) was additionally released. This existing naming convention has also been maintained in v2.13.2.
