Creating MongoDB through Helm with Gitlab fails - mongodb

Question

I followed the instructions here to create a Mongo instance using helm. This requires some adaptation as it's being created through gitlab with gitlab-ci.
Unfortunately, the part about values.yaml gets skimmed over and I haven't found complete examples for mongo through helm. [Many of the examples also seemed deprecated as well.]
Being unsure how to address the issue, using this as a values.yaml file:
global:
mongodb:
DBName: 'example'
mongodbUsername: "user"
mongodbPassword: "password"
mongodbDatabase: "database"
mongodbrootPassword: "password"
auth.rootPassword: "password"
The following error is returned:
'auth.rootPassword' must not be empty, please add '--set auth.rootPassword=$MONGODB_ROOT_PASSWORD' to the command. To get the current value:
export MONGODB_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace angular-23641052-review-86-sh-mousur review-86-sh-mousur-mongodb -o jsonpath="{.data.mongodb-root-password}" | base64 --decode)
Given that I'm only using helm as called by gitlab-ci, I am unsure on how to implement the set or otherwise set the root password.

Answer 1

From what I could tell, I thought setting variables in env in values.yaml had solved the problem:
env:
- name: "auth.rootPassword"
value: "password"
The problem went away - but has returned.
Gitlab is making a move towards using .gitlab/auto-deploy-values.yaml.
I created a local version of autodeploy.sh and added the value auth.rootPassword="password" to auto-deploy-value.yaml and the value seems to work. cf. [Gitlab's documentation][1]
