# Traefik upgrade and tests

Upgrading older versions of k3s to a new one and having the old Traefik v1 seems to be a common issue that k3s users are facing. There are a several of issues which happen when upgrading without changing API resources (ingress):

* [Failed to list \*v1beta1.Ingress: the server could not find the requested resource (get ingresses.extensions)](https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/issues/4967)
* [Issue #4967 · k3s-io/k3s · GitHub](https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/issues/4967)

The common solution which people recommend is simply upgrade Traefik. There are plenty of guides even official ones from Traefik. We recommend the following workflow with Helm:

#### Upgrade Traefik with Helm

*Setup:* From Kubernetes v1.20.x to v1.24.X with Traefik helm chart 1.8.1

1. Uninstall current Traefik version v1.8x.x `helm uninstall traefik -n kube-system`
2. Make sure Helm has everything it needs to install Traefik v2 `helm repo add traefik https://helm.traefik.io/traefik` `helm repo update`
3. Install new Traefik v2 ([GitHub - traefik/traefik-helm-chart: Traefik v2 helm chart](https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart)) `helm install traefik traefik/traefik`
4. Migrate your configurations and ingress definitions to the new Traefik v2 by using the official guides and tools:
   * [Traefik V2 Migration Documentation - Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/migration/v1-to-v2/#some-tips-you-should-know)
   * [GitHub - traefik/traefik-migration-tool: A migration tool from Traefik v1 to Traefik v2.](https://github.com/traefik/traefik-migration-tool)
