Allow for RocketChat Configuration On Helm Values

[ChrisJBurns]

Could we get added functionality to be able to configure RocketChat from the Helm chart?

This saves the manual work of having to go in and click through the initial setup wizard. Would be much easier if this was all automated as part of the RocketChat installation. Many other apps allow this to be done via Helm.

Hi @ChrisJBurns

u can do this with the extraEnv: in the values.yaml, here u can overwrite every setting. praefix your ENV var name with: OVERWRITE_SETTING_

Loc: https://github.com/RocketChat/helm-charts/blob/master/rocketchat/values.yaml#L27 docs: https://docs.rocket.chat/guides/administration/misc.-admin-guides/settings-via-env-vars

hopes it helps u Matthias

extraEnv seems bugged. You always get this error when setting it in values.yaml:

Error: UPGRADE FAILED: template: rocketchat/templates/chat-deployment.yaml:139:7: executing "rocketchat/templates/chat-deployment.yaml" at <.>: wrong type for value; expect
ed string; got []interface {}

I also encountered this problem. Since "tpl" is used to render this section, it has to be a string. This works:

  extraEnv: |
    - name: INITIAL_USER
      value: yes
