openshift - Deployment "tiller" exceeded its progress deadline

Question

I'm trying to install tiller server to an Openshift project

Helm/tiller version: 2.9.0

My project name: paytiller

At step 3, executing this command (mentioned as per this document - https://www.openshift.com/blog/getting-started-helm-openshift)

oc rollout status deployment tiller

I get this error:

error: deployment "tiller" exceeded its progress deadline

I'm not clear on what's the error message or could find any logs. Any idea why this error? If this doesn't work, what are the other suggestions for templating in Openshift?

EDIT

oc get events

Answer 1

The issue was with the permissions on our OpenShift platform. We didn't have access to download from open-source directly.

We tried to add kubernetes-helm as a docker image to our organization repository and then we were able to pull the image to OpenShift project. It is working now. But still, we didn't get any clue of the issue from the logs.
