"Start update process" screen shows every time a pod is deleted

[BarryWilliams]

Chart Name

Homarr

Chart Version

homarr-1.2.5

Bug Description

When a pod gets deleted (and a new pod is created) - Homarr keeps initially showing the "Start update process", which includes asking to set the admin user and password. This is rather annoying.

My dashboards still persist, which is great.

Recreation steps:

1. Deploy the chart
2. Do initial setup and add some dashboard creation
3. Delete the pod (kubectl delete pod homarr-xx-xx -n homarr)
4. Go to the URL again - it will go through "Start update process"
5. Delete the pod again - it will go through "Start update process" again Note: dashboards persist

Relevant log output

Several back-to-back entries of the following:

ℹ Instance is using a database on the file system. Checking if file '/data/db.sqlite' is writable...
ℹ Database is writeable

It looks like the sqlite location is set as an environment variable in the 1.15.3 docker image

looking at the environment variables in my pod, I see it is this:

DATABASE_URL=file:/data/db.sqlite

It looks like this is fixed on the dev branch. Hopefully that comes in the next release of the image.

Updating the environment variables in the values file fixed it.

Mine looks like this now:

env:
  DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME: dark
  DATABASE_URL: file:/app/database/db.sqlite

Perhaps this can be added to the templates
