Yes. On first deployment of the couchdb helm chart, I need to create the adminSecret myself
Describe the solution you'd like
There is a pattern I have recently been made aware of in helm charts to create an extraObjects value, evaluated as a template (similar to discussion on https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart/issues/588 ), which allows deploying supporting kubernetes resources along with the traefik deployment.
In many cases, it can avoid the need for additional (fake helm chart w/ a few resources), extended (chart that extends the couchdb chart), or adhoc deployments (kubectl apply and friends).
I'm not sure if Bitnami deserves the original credit, but they call their value extraDeploy. We thought extraObjects was a better name in our context 🤷
In any case, I would be happy to write a PR with the functionality if it seems like a welcome addition. In particular, we would use it immediately for:
deploying the secret
supportive prometheus, certificate, etc. deployment
Describe alternatives you've considered
Create secret manually, wrap this helm chart into another, or create a little "secret" helm chart that just deploys the secret
