Helm init connection timeout spotty

7/27/2018

So when I run helm init, sometimes it works and a tiller pod gets created and sometimes the connection times out. I reasoned to extend the tiller-connection-time out with:

helm init --tiller-connection-timeout 500 --service-account tiller --tiller-image my-image --tiller-namespace my-namespace

..but I got this error: Error: unknown flag: --tiller-connection-timeout

However, the docs list this as a valid flag, copy-pasted from the docs: https://docs.helm.sh/helm/

Anybody else have issues with helm init in Kubernetes? How to get a consistent tiller pod created? I'm happy to provide more info, if that helps

--tiller-connection-timeout is available from helm 2.9.0, take a look at your helm version, it maybe need some upgrade.
