Hi all, I’m trying to use VolSync in my MicroK8s cluster, but the controller keeps failing as I don’t have a snapshot controller installed. It’s clearly stated in the documentation:

VolSync requires the Kubernetes snapshot controller to be installed within a cluster. If the controller is not deployed review the snapshot controller documentation [GitHub - kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter: Sidecar container that watches Kubernetes Snapshot CRD objects and triggers CreateSnapshot/DeleteSnapshot against a CSI endpoint.](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter).

Which is the proper way to install a snapshot controller? Found this [GitHub - kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter: Sidecar container that watches Kubernetes Snapshot CRD objects and triggers CreateSnapshot/DeleteSnapshot against a CSI endpoint.](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter), but I’m not sure how to proceed.

Any advice will be appreciated. Regards.
