We have customers running on kubernetes version 1.23 along with longhorn 1.3.1 (latest kurl supported) and we wanted to upgrade the kubernetes version to 1.27 but when I am trying to build the kubernetes installer spec it show the error “Error: Longhorn versions \<= 1.4.0 are not compatible with Kubernetes versions 1.25+”.

Is there any workaround for this issue ??

Unfortunately there is no workaround here since we [deprecated Longhorn add-on on March 27, 2023](https://kurl.sh/docs/add-ons/longhorn#deprecation-notice) and with that we are no longer releasing new versions of this add-on.

The only thing left is to migrate your add-on to another CSI add-on. For more on that please refer to [these guide](https://kurl.sh/docs/install-with-kurl/migrating-csi). CSI add-on migrations are taken care of by the kURL installer. If you use [pinned versions](https://kurl.sh/docs/install-with-kurl#versioned-releases), please ensure you have the latest release.

For more on the reasons why we deprecated the add-on please read through this [blog post](https://www.replicated.com/blog/why-replicated-has-moved-away-from-recommending-longhorn-for-kurl-storage)

Thanks @Evans_Mungai but we don’t want to migrate to rook-ceph as we have faced lot of issues with rook-ceph in the past and it also needs an additional block device to be available.
