The stable/mongodb chart has a secrets.yaml that looks like the following.
{{ if and .Values.usePassword (not .Values.existingSecret) -}}
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: {{ template "mongodb.fullname" . }}
labels:
app: {{ template "mongodb.name" . }}
chart: {{ template "mongodb.chart" . }}
release: "{{ .Release.Name }}"
heritage: "{{ .Release.Service }}"
type: Opaque
data:
{{- if .Values.mongodbRootPassword }}
mongodb-root-password: {{ .Values.mongodbRootPassword | b64enc | quote }}
{{- else }}
mongodb-root-password: {{ randAlphaNum 10 | b64enc | quote }}
{{- end }}
{{- if and .Values.mongodbUsername .Values.mongodbDatabase }}
{{- if .Values.mongodbPassword }}
mongodb-password: {{ .Values.mongodbPassword | b64enc | quote }}
{{- else }}
mongodb-password: {{ randAlphaNum 10 | b64enc | quote }}
{{- end }}
{{- end }}
{{- if .Values.replicaSet.enabled }}
{{- if .Values.replicaSet.key }}
mongodb-replica-set-key: {{ .Values.replicaSet.key | b64enc | quote }}
{{- else }}
mongodb-replica-set-key: {{ randAlphaNum 10 | b64enc | quote }}
{{- end }}
{{- end }}
{{- end }}
I want to provide some of the values using my values.yaml file. Is this possible since stable/mongodb 5.20.0 is a subchart/dependency I am referencing? I've tried naming values the same in my app's values.yaml, but they don't seem to overwrite them when I do a test run using helm template.
Thanks!
you need to put an alias to your requirements.yaml on the mongodb dependency and use it to include the values from mongo on your own values.
