Cannot overwrite default sidecar image

[alice-vsk]

In our company we have to use offline images from our repository by security reasons.
So in version 5.0.11 we have downloaded all necessary minio images and set variable MINIO_OPERATOR_IMAGE just as described here.

Now in version 6.0.1 it seems it's kind of broken because after setting this variable pod in tenant namespace keeps trying to download init and sidecar images from quay.io/minio/operator-sidecar:v6.0.0.

Expected Behavior

We set MINIO_OPERATOR_IMAGE environment variable with our repository and init and sidecar images downloading from there.

Current Behavior

We set MINIO_OPERATOR_IMAGE environment variable with our repository and init and sidecar images still downloading from the default repository.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Install minio-operator and minio-tenant with helm using non-default images in values.yaml

Our Environment

• Version used (minio-operator): v6.0.1
• Environment name and version: kubernetes v1.28.6
• Server type and version: CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009
• Operating System and version (uname -a): 5.4.278-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64

Not sure if you're using Helm to install the operator, but then you could use the image.repository and sidecarImage.repository values. If you prefer to use environment variables, then please set OPERATOR_SIDECAR_IMAGE to the sidecar image.

Yes, we're using helm.
It seems adding sidecarImage.repository has helped.

Thank you!
