Summary

User is unable to deploy Airbyte using Helm with an external database configuration, as the generated manifests do not reflect the specified host, user, or database settings in the values.yaml file.


Question

Hello. Hopefully someone here can help with my issue.

I opened the following issue on airbyte’s GH https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/36238

Long story short, I cannot deploy airbyte with an external database set successfully with helm.

Here is my values.yaml:

  database:
    secretName: "secrets-airbyte-airbyte-webapp-svc-prod"
    secretValue:  "airbyte-db-password"

postgresql:
  enabled: false

externalDatabase:
  host: "<http://my-custom-host.com|my-custom-host.com>"
  user: "postgres"
  database: "airbyte"
  password: ""
  existingSecret: "secrets-airbyte-airbyte-webapp-svc-prod"
  existingSecretPasswordKey: "airbyte-db-password"
  port: 5432
  jdbcUrl: ""```
No matter what I try I cannot get the generated manifests to take my host, user or database. Any advice?
