Lab 8.1 - Helm/Apache Pending external IP assignment.

I am experiencing an issue with Helm/Apache chart

helm install anotherweb .
NAME: anotherweb
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Oct  7 11:26:09 2025
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed

** Please be patient while the chart is being deployed **

1. Get the Apache URL by running:

** Please ensure an external IP is associated to the anotherweb-apache service before proceeding **
** Watch the status using: kubectl get svc --namespace default -w anotherweb-apache **

  export SERVICE_IP=$(kubectl get svc --namespace default anotherweb-apache --template "{{ range (index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0) }}{{ . }}{{ end }}")
  echo URL            : http://$SERVICE_IP/

It doesn't want to assign the external IP

kubectl get svc --namespace default -w anotherweb-apache
NAME                TYPE           CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                      AGE
anotherweb-apache   LoadBalancer   10.109.39.75   <pending>     80:31450/TCP,443:31639/TCP   102s

The logs are saying it cannot pull the image

kubectl logs anotherweb-apache-687bd9c775-rl9qv --all-containers
Error from server (BadRequest): container "preserve-logs-symlinks" in pod "anotherweb-apache-687bd9c775-rl9qv" is waiting to start: trying and failing to pull image

I tried the tag "latest" but it didn't help

It only works when allowing insecure image:

helm install anotherweb bitnami/apache \
  --set image.repository=bitnamilegacy/apache \
  --set image.tag=2.4.65-debian-12-r2 \
  --set global.security.allowInsecureImages=true

After a while the pod is running, but it doesn't want to assign the external IP.

ubuntu@k8scp:~/apache$ kubectl get svc --namespace default -w anotherweb-apache
NAME                TYPE           CLUSTER-IP    EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                      AGE

So I can't get the service ip:

export SERVICE_IP=$(kubectl get svc --namespace default anotherweb-apache --template "{{ range (index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0) }}{{ . }}{{ end }}")
error: error executing template "{{ range (index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0) }}{{ . }}{{ end }}": template: output:1:10: executing "output" at <index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0>: error calling index: index of untyped nil

echo URL            : http://$SERVICE_IP/
URL : http://Error executing template: template: output:1:10: executing "output" at <index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0>: error calling index: index of untyped nil. 

I've waited for over an hour and still nothing.
I'm on AWS EC2 and followed setup with Cillium. Happy to post command outputs if necessary
