Marco Nenciarini 4961bec18d fix: pin the Helm chart's image tag to the plugin version
Before, each doc page hardcoded its own chart version. That is
fragile: the chart is published after the plugin, so we can't know
the right chart version yet when we write the docs.

Now we set the image tag straight to the plugin version instead.
The latest release skips this, since the chart already defaults to
itself there.

# Installation
:::important
1. The plugin **must** be installed in the same namespace as the CloudNativePG
operator (typically `cnpg-system`).
2. Keep in mind that the operator's **listening namespaces** may differ from its
installation namespace. Double-check this to avoid configuration issues.
:::
## Verifying the Requirements
Before installing the plugin, make sure the [requirements](intro.md#requirements) are met.
### CloudNativePG Version
Ensure you're running a version of CloudNativePG that is compatible with the
plugin. If installed in the default `cnpg-system` namespace, you can verify the
version with:
```sh
kubectl get deployment -n cnpg-system cnpg-controller-manager \
-o jsonpath="{.spec.template.spec.containers[*].image}"
```
Example output:
```output
ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg:1.26.0
```
The version **must be 1.26 or newer**.
### cert-manager
Use the [cmctl](https://cert-manager.io/docs/reference/cmctl/#installation)
tool to confirm that `cert-manager` is installed and available:
```sh
cmctl check api
```
Example output:
```output
The cert-manager API is ready
```
Both checks are required before proceeding with the installation.
## Installing the Barman Cloud Plugin
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
import { InstallationSnippet, ManifestVersion } from '@site/src/components/Installation';
import { HelmInstallationSnippet } from '@site/src/components/HelmInstallation';
<Tabs groupId="install-method">
<TabItem value="helm" label="Helm Chart" default>
The plugin can be installed using the provided [Helm chart](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/charts/tree/main/charts/plugin-barman-cloud):
<HelmInstallationSnippet />
Example output:
```output
Release "plugin-barman-cloud" does not exist. Installing it now.

Finally, check that the deployment is up and running:
```sh
kubectl -n cnpg-system rollout status deploy/plugin-barman-cloud
```
Example output:
