etcdadm init with 3.4.7 version, command fails with unknown flag

Question

I am using etcdadm command to create the etcd cluster, init fails with --version unkown flag.

How to create etcd cluster with latest etcd version?

# ./etcdadm --version "3.4.7" init
INFO[0000] [install] extracting etcd archive /var/cache/etcdadm/etcd/v3.4.7/etcd-v3.4.7-linux-amd64.tar.gz to /tmp/etcd809914410
INFO[0000] [install] verifying etcd 3.4.7 is installed in /opt/bin/
FATA[0000] [install] Error: command "/opt/bin/etcdctl" failed: "Error: unknown flag: --version\n\nError: unknown flag: --version\n"

Answer 1

to configure 3.4.7 version, we need to set ETCDCTL_API environment variable.

compiled like this:

git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/etcdadm.git
cd etcdadm/
docker run --rm -it --name golang -v $PWD:/v golang
cd /v
make
ls

Able to create the data base like this:

# ETCDCTL_API=3 ./etcdadm --version "3.4.7" init
