Until it has been issued the browser shows a warning; follow it with kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get certificate tls-{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-ingress The Ingress publishes the application at "/" with no path restriction, so everything the app serves is served under this host — including /swagger-ui.html and /v3/api-docs, which this app version enables by default and this chart does not turn off. Both are behind the login (they answer 302 to the identity provider like every other path), so this is exposure of an API description, not of data. Turning them off is a springdoc.api-docs.enabled / springdoc.swagger-ui.enabled property; the chart sets neither, so it can be added through urlaubsverwaltung.env. {{- else }} ACCESS — NO INGRESS ingress.enabled is false, so this release has no Ingress and no certificate; ingress.clusterIssuer is not needed. Unlike other charts in this repo, ingress.domain is read by NOTHING else here — no environment variable of the container derives from it. The address the application considers its own is the OIDC redirect URI, and that comes out of the 1Password item below, not out of this value. The two can drift apart without any complaint. Reach the release inside the cluster with kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} port-forward svc/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-service 8080:80 and open http://localhost:8080. The login redirects to your identity provider, which will refuse to come back to a localhost callback unless that exact URL is registered there as well. {{- end }} {{ if eq $replicas "0" }} SCALED TO ZERO {{ if .Values.scaleDown }}scaleDown: true{{ else }}urlaubsverwaltung.replicas: 0{{ end }} — the Deployment runs with replicas: 0, so the endpoint above does not answer until you set it back and upgrade again. Both OnePasswordItem CRs and the Service{{ if .Values.ingress.enabled }} and Ingress stay in place, so the certificate is not re-issued.{{ else }} stay in place.{{ end }} This chart owns no volume: all state lives in the external database, so scaling to zero loses nothing. {{ end }} SECRETS — THE FIELDS EACH 1PASSWORD ITEM MUST CARRY The operator copies an item's FIELDS into the Kubernetes Secret, one key per field name, and this chart reads each key by name into an environment variable. The field names are decided here and appear nowhere in 1Password, so they are exactly what you would otherwise have to read out of the deployment template. They must match to the letter. secrets.databaseSecretRef → {{ .Values.secrets.databaseSecretRef }} → Secret {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-db-secret jdbc-url a full JDBC URL, e.g. jdbc:postgresql://postgres.example.com:5432/urlaubsverwaltung username password secrets.oidcSecretRef → {{ .Values.secrets.oidcSecretRef }} → Secret {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-oidc-secret client-id client-secret issuer-name the provider's display name on the login button issuer-uri the OIDC issuer, WITHOUT /.well-known/openid-configuration jwt-issuer-uri the same issuer for the resource-server side redirect-uri the full callback URL. This chart registers the client under the id "default", so the path is /login/oauth2/code/default — for example https://{{ if .Values.ingress.enabled }}{{ .Values.ingress.domain }}{{ else }}example.com{{ end }}/login/oauth2/code/default and the same URL has to be registered at the provider. This chart deploys NO database and NO identity provider. Both have to exist already and be reachable from this namespace. A field spelled differently yields a Secret without that key. The pod then hangs in CreateContainerConfigError while the Secret itself exists, so it looks as if the operator had done its job. What it actually delivered: kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get secret {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-db-secret -o jsonpath='{.data}' Pointing a ref at a DIFFERENT item rolls the pod; changing a value INSIDE the same item does not. Helm never sees that content, so the rendered Deployment is unchanged and this chart stamps no checksum over the secrets — nothing restarts, and the pod keeps running with the old values: kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout restart deployment/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-deployment THE IDENTITY PROVIDER IS REQUIRED AT BOOT, NOT AT LOGIN On start the application resolves the provider's configuration itself, with a GET on /.well-known/openid-configuration and it does this while building its security beans — before the HTTP port opens. An issuer-uri that does not resolve, is unreachable from this namespace, or answers something other than a discovery document therefore does not produce a broken login page: the process exits with Application run failed ... Unable to resolve Configuration with the provided Issuer of "" and the pod goes into CrashLoopBackOff having never served a request. So a provider that is down at rollout time keeps this release from starting at all. The reason is only in the log: kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} logs deployment/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-deployment Note the order: the database migration runs BEFORE this step. A rollout that dies on the identity provider has already migrated the schema. STARTUP MIGRATES THE DATABASE, AND ROLLBACK DOES NOT UNMIGRATE Liquibase brings the schema up to date on every start, before anything is served; against an empty database it creates it from scratch and the app then seeds its initial settings, vacation types and sick-note types. The startup probe covers that whole window{{ if $budget }} ({{ $budget }}){{ end }} and holds liveness and readiness off until it is through. A measured cold start against an empty database — JVM, full migration, seeding — took about 30 seconds; an upgrade that carries a long migration takes longer, and if it outruns the budget the kubelet kills the container mid-migration and the next attempt starts over. helm rollback puts the previous app version back; the schema does not come back with it, because it was migrated in place. Take a database backup BEFORE an app-version upgrade. There is no volume in this release to back up — the database is the whole of the state. A failed rollout does not take the release down: the previous pod keeps serving until the new one becomes Ready. "helm upgrade" without --wait therefore reports success while the new pod crashloops behind it. Check: kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout status deployment/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-deployment THE MEMORY LIMIT SIZES THE JAVA HEAP — IT IS NOT JUST A CEILING The image is built with Cloud Native Buildpacks, and its memory calculator reads the container's memory LIMIT at every start and derives -Xmx and the metaspace from it. In this release that limit is {{ $memLimit }}. {{- if $memLimitExplicit }} It is set explicitly under urlaubsverwaltung.resources.limits.memory, which wins over the factor the chart would otherwise apply. {{- else }} The chart does not set it directly: it is computed as urlaubsverwaltung.resources.limitFactor ({{ include "urlaubsverwaltung.formatNumber" $factor }}) x the memory request ({{ $memRequest }}). {{- end }} So the memory limit is not an operational safety margin here, it is a JVM tuning knob. Lowering it shrinks the heap; raising it raises the heap. A limit chosen too tightly does not merely risk an OOMKill under load — the calculator refuses to start at all when what is left after metaspace, code cache and the thread stacks is negative, and that failure appears before any application log line. The sizing it chose is the first line of the log: kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} logs deployment/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-deployment | head -1 DO NOT HEALTH-CHECK THIS RELEASE ON /actuator/health That endpoint aggregates every health indicator, and one of them is the mail sender pointed at localhost:1025 by this chart (see below). Nothing listens there, so the aggregate answers 503 DOWN on a completely healthy release, for the lifetime of that release: {"components":{ ... "mail":{"status":"DOWN"} ... },"status":"DOWN"} Everything else in it — db, ping, diskSpace, ssl — is UP. The probes this chart configures deliberately use the /actuator/health/liveness and /actuator/health/readiness GROUPS instead, which contain only the application's lifecycle state and answer 200. Any external monitor you point at this release has to use the same two paths, or it will page you forever about a mail server you never configured. WHAT A READY POD DOES NOT PROVE Those two groups report lifecycle state and nothing else — the datasource is not in them. Measured here: with the database scaled away underneath a running pod, both groups kept answering 200, the pod stayed 1/1 Ready and was never restarted. The database is verified exactly once, at boot, by the migration. Know the resulting picture in advance: during a database outage the pod stays Ready, its endpoint keeps receiving traffic{{ if .Values.ingress.enabled }}, the Ingress keeps routing to it{{ end }}, and users get application errors while Kubernetes reports everything healthy. Nothing in the pod's status or restart count points at the database. Look there first anyway. Note also that there is no shell in this image: "kubectl exec" cannot open one, and neither can a debug sidecar sharing the process namespace run the app's own tooling. Everything you can learn from a running pod, you learn from its log and its HTTP endpoints. MAIL AND THE APPLICATION URL ARE PLACEHOLDERS UNTIL YOU SET THEM The chart hardcodes the mail wiring to values that work nowhere: SPRING_MAIL_HOST=localhost, SPRING_MAIL_PORT=1025 UV_MAIL_FROM / UV_MAIL_REPLYTO = urlaubsverwaltung@example.org UV_CALENDAR_ORGANIZER = organizer@example.org UV_MAIL_APPLICATIONURL = http://localhost:8080 Nothing in this pod listens on localhost:1025, so no notification mail leaves the release and the mail health indicator stays DOWN. UV_MAIL_APPLICATIONURL is what the app puts into the links inside those mails — it is NOT derived from ingress.domain. Left as it is, every link points at the reader's own machine. urlaubsverwaltung.env IS ADDITIVE ONLY, AND A COLLISION BREAKS THE UPGRADE The entries are appended AFTER the chart's own list{{ if $envNames }} (this release appends: {{ join ", " $envNames }}){{ end }}. An entry that repeats a name the chart already sets does not replace it — it renders the variable twice, and that has a sharp edge: adding such a name to an ALREADY INSTALLED release makes the next upgrade fail in the API server, before anything changes, with UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-deployment" ... The order in patch list ... doesn't match $setElementOrder list because env entries are merged by name and a duplicate name breaks that ordering. A fresh install with the same values goes through, so the failure looks arbitrary until you know it. Treat the variables above as fixed for the life of a release: to really change one, reinstall. Anything sensitive belongs in valueFrom.secretKeyRef rather than a plain value: a value is stored in the pod spec and readable by anyone who can read pods in {{ .Release.Namespace }}. {{- if not $envNames }} urlaubsverwaltung.env is empty in this release, so the placeholders above are live exactly as printed. {{- end }}
