With readOnlyRootFilesystem the s6-overlay init cannot rewrite
/etc/passwd, so the containers silently kept the image's built-in
uid/gid 911 instead of the configured PUID/PGID (verified at runtime) -
breaking ownership on the shared media volumes. Drop the now-unneeded
/run and /tmp emptyDirs; deviation documented in values.yaml.
Short tunnel re-negotiations recover internally; a kubelet restart only
prolongs the outage while the kill switch already blocks all egress.
Liveness budget 60s, readiness stays at 30s.
Replace the upstream-recommended postStart hook, which runs
concurrently with the entrypoint and loses the race (observed: it
deleted the ip rule the restarted gluetun had just created, leaving the
container in a permanent CrashLoop behind the kill switch). A command
wrapper now removes stale table-51820 rules and the leftover tun
device deterministically before exec'ing /gluetun-entrypoint, covering
container restarts after unclean exits.
An uncleanly exited gluetun leaves its ip rule in the shared pod
network namespace; the restarted container then fails forever with
'adding ip rule 101: file exists' while the kill switch keeps blocking
all egress. Apply the upstream-recommended Kubernetes fix: a postStart
hook dropping table-51820 rules.
The image copies and patches the chromedriver binary to the hardcoded
path /app/chromedriver at startup (no env override exists) and writes
chromedriver caches under /app, so readOnlyRootFilesystem cannot hold;
deviation documented in values.yaml. Reverts the HOME=/tmp workaround,
which only covered the cache path, not the binary patching.
The image's home is /app on the read-only root filesystem, but
flaresolverr writes chromedriver caches under $HOME (/app/.local);
pointing HOME at the /tmp emptyDir keeps the root filesystem read-only.
The image declares its non-root user by name only, which the kubelet's
runAsNonRoot check cannot verify (CreateContainerConfigError); pinning
the uid/gid numerically satisfies the check.
The issue plan listed qmcgaw/gluetun:3.41.1, but the published tag is
v3.41.1. appVersion is the exact image tag per the style guide, so
appVersion becomes v3.41.1 and the chart version 1.0.0+upv3.41.1
(precedent: matrix-synapse, satisfactory, calibre-web-automated).
