Config File "hub" Not Found in "[/.cfg /artifacthub/.cfg]"

[eralumin]

Hi,

I am trying to install the helm charts Artifact Hub on Openshift and I always have the following error on the artifact hub pod:

{"level":"fatal","error":"Config File \"hub\" Not Found in \"[/.cfg /artifacthub/.cfg]\"","time":"2024-03-18T10:08:49Z","message":"configuration setup failed"}

In fact every pods which need those configuration files at /home/*/.cfg got this kind of error message.

I checked by mounting on pods and those files exists and are correct.

Here is information about the context:

• Chart Version: 1.17.0
• Cluster Type: OpenShift
• Kubernetes Version: v1.25.12+26bab08

Here is my values.yaml:

There is certainly something wrong in my config but I really don't see what exactly.

Hi @kmarilleau 👋

The Artifact Hub components try to read their configuration file from the following paths:

https://github.com/artifacthub/hub/blob/ec66fcdd9d17418e2c443da09a88b881474034fb/internal/util/config.go#L18-L19

Based on the error you shared, it looks like the $HOME environment variable isn't set. Otherwise, instead of Not Found in [/.cfg] (as per the first option shown above) it should show something like Not Found in [/home-env-var-content/.cfg].

Hope this helps 🙂

Ahhh ok, so i just try this:

hub:
  configDir: "/artifacthub/.cfg"

scanner:
  configDir: "/artifacthub/.cfg"

tracker:
  configDir: "/artifacthub/.cfg"

And it works fine! Thank you!

Awesome, no worries!
