04/08/2026, 6:47 PMHi @Ian Alton, Thank you for the update. Those feature indeed sound very good. But can you advise on how to install the version? The documentation and the available helm charts provide only partial advice on this? My preferred way would be to be able to install release 2.1.0 via abctl - see https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C01AHCD885S/p1775573552545549
Thank you!

abctl local installm

04/23/2026, 10:40 AMHiya. I've been trying to get 2.1.0 going as an upgrade from earlier version, and we have two issues:
• the webapp integration is straight up broken - it tries to deploy a webapp image tagged 2.1.0 which doesn't exist. In fact, no stable 2.x images have ever been published. Was the webapp integration just silently ignored since before v2?
• the airbyte server component is throwing a bunch of errors when trying to access the site - could that be related to migrations somehow?
