Minio 6.0.1: can't set MINIO_OPERATOR_IMAGE env variable which sets the sidecar image

[fouadsemaan]

Minio version < 6.0.0 allowed us to set the MINIO_OPERATOR_IMAGE variable which set the tenant sidecar image.

Expected Behavior

When setting the MINIO_OPERATOR_IMAGE env in the operator, it should set the appropriate sidecar.

Current Behavior

Currently env variable MINIO_OPERATOR_IMAGE is not respected and sidecar image is hardcoded.

Possible Solution

The code which sets the env variable was removed here.

Your Environment

• Version used (minio-operator): 6.0.1
• Environment name and version (e.g. kubernetes v1.17.2): v1.28.9

The sidecar now has its own image in v6 and you can set the OPERATOR_SIDECAR_IMAGE variable (source).

Appreciate the quick response! I think it might be worth updating the docs.

@fouadsemaan You're right. I'll forward this to the docs team.
