How to include ides.config.db.schema in Helm template output for IDE Services

Question

How can a user include the ides.config.db.schema value in the Helm template output to ensure a non-default PostgreSQL schema is configured during deployment?

Answer

To ensure the ides.config.db.schema value is included in the Helm template output by updating the Helm chart template responsible for rendering the database secret. Follow these steps:

1. Open the chart template file for the database secret, typically located at:

   • templates/configuration/dbsecret.yaml

2. Add an entry for schema in the Secret's data section alongside other database-related values. The entry should look like this:

schema: {{ required "ides.config.db.schema must be provided" .Values.ides.config.db.schema | b64enc | quote }}

3. Re-render the Helm chart to verify the changes:

helm template . -f ./values.yaml > out.yaml

4. Finally, check the rendered output (out.yaml) and confirm that the schema key is present in the data: section of the Secret.

By making this modification, the ides.config.db.schema value from values.yaml will be properly emitted into the Kubernetes Secret, ensuring the deployment uses the correct PostgreSQL schema.
