Installing the KubeArmorOperator throws an error when the "kubarmor" namespace is not created in the cluster

Bug Report

When I ran commands make, then make manifests, then make docker-build deploy from pkg/KubeArmorOperator the make docker-build deploy command throws an error,

GOBIN=/home/roopesh/go/bin go install sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/kustomize/[email protected]

When I ran the same command after creating the namespace "kubearmor" in the cluster, the command works fine by creating the resources in that namespace.

I would like to work on this issue if the maintainers want to proceed with it.

Hey @roopeshsn, thanks for opening this.

I think you can add a namespace.yaml in config/operator and include the same under resources block of kustomization.yaml

Please also proceed if you think there's a better way to tackle this.

Ping me if you've any questions.
