Hello, I’m trying to install Temporal using helm based on the instructions found here: [https://github.com/temporalio/helm-charts](https://github.com/temporalio/helm-charts) When I run the following command, I get the error “Error: create: failed to create: Request entity too large: limit is 3145728”. Any ideas about this? helm install –set server.replicaCount=1 –set cassandra.config.cluster\_size=1 –set prometheus.enabled=false –set grafana.enabled=false –set elasticsearch.enabled=false –set kafka.enabled=false temporaltest . --timeout 15m ---

I can checkout earlier commits and the error still persists. I also wiped my .helm and recreated the cluster but neither action fixes the issue.

Thanks for your reply. All I did was run the following “helm dependencies update” and it created a charts folder with the following contents. 1417 cassandra-0.14.3.tgz 23083 elasticsearch-7.6.2.tgz 19490 grafana-5.0.10.tgz 41268 kafka-7.2.9.tgz 32899 prometheus-11.0.4.tgz The file sizes don’t exceed 3MB. I then run the helm install command provided as shown below and get the error. I don’t understand what file size it is complaining about. helm install –set server.replicaCount=1 –set cassandra.config.cluster\_size=1 –set prometheus.enabled=false –set grafana.enabled=false –set elasticsearch.enabled=false –set kafka.enabled=false temporaltest . --timeout 15m ---

I figured out the problem, I didn’t checkout the whole repo and was only using the Chart.yaml. Thanks for your assistance. ---

I am running into the same issue but not sure about the “whole repo” solution. I don’t see what I’m missing from my downloaded version.
