Error On K8S: Admin Settings Is Unavailable. Unable to Read and Write to Environment File

Issue

I have self-hosted an appsmith/appsmith-server:v1.8.11 on Kubernetes without Helm and it works fine, but when I enable the Super Admin Page, it shows an error saying "Admin Settings is unavailable. Unable to read and write to Environment file." I have set the required environment variables in a .yaml file. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Resolution

The solution to this issue is to install Appsmith on Kubernetes using Helm Charts instead of self-hosting it without Helm. This will enable the Super Admin Page to work correctly without any errors. As of today, Helm Charts are the only supported method of installation on Kubernetes.
