Open Source Mender Server Tutorial

I am working on getting the open source mender tutorial up and running but I keep running into errors. Mender Server | Mender documentation

I have started a MinIO pod, which seems to be up and running just fine:

sudo kubectl get all
NAME        READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
pod/minio   1/1     Running   0          6s

I have set up an access key, created a bucket (“test-bucket”), and also set environment variable MINIO_DOMAIN=minio.example.net

Next, I followed the instructions in the link above to set up the mender helm chart. Please see my helm chart below, with tokens and secrets commented out

global:
  enterprise: false
  image:
    tag: mender-3.7.8
  mongodb:
    URL: ""
  nats:
    URL: ""
  s3:
    AWS_URI: "https://mender.example.com"
    AWS_BUCKET: test-bucket
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: <removed for security reasons>
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: <removed for security reasons>
  url: "https://mender.example.com"

# This enables bitnami/mongodb sub-chart
mongodb:

# This enabled nats sub-chart

    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout: "600"
  path: /
  ingressClassName: nginx
  hosts:
    - mender.example.com
  tls:
  # this secret must exists or it can be created from a working cert-manager instance
   - secretName: mender-ingress-tls
     hosts:
       - mender.example.com

When I do the command below via the tutorial, I get the errors below related to nats, and I never see the nats pods listed when I do “sudo kubectl get all”

helm upgrade --install mender mender/mender  --version 5.11.2 -f mender-3.7.8.yml

Warnings about nats:

Any and all help would be really appreciated, thank you!
