📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates

    • Updated deployment configuration for the current Helm chart schema, including database, authentication, resources, probes, replicas, routing, and image pull secrets.
    • Backend secret creation is now handled through the shared installation flow.
    • PostgreSQL Operator installation now uses version 5.8.9.
    • Simplified extra-volume configuration to retain RBAC policy and TechDocs storage.
  • Configuration Changes

    • Removed dynamic plugin volume and installation configuration from the extra-volume setup.

Walkthrough

The deployment now uses top-level RHDH Helm values. Database, secret, plugin, storage, probe, resource, and replica settings were updated. Dynamic plugin volume setup was removed, and the Crunchy Postgres Operator version was updated.

Changes

RHDH Helm deployment migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Top-level Helm chart values
ci-scripts/rhdh-setup/template/backstage/helm/chart-values.yaml, ci-scripts/rhdh-setup/template/backstage/helm/chart-values.image-override.yaml
Helm values now use top-level chart settings for routing, plugins, databases, environment variables, replicas, services, and image pull secrets.
Installer configuration and secret wiring
ci-scripts/rhdh-setup/deploy.sh
Installer patches now target the top-level chart schema. External database, resource, probe, profiling, and replica settings were updated. Common installation now creates rhdh-backend-secret.
Storage and database operator alignment
ci-scripts/rhdh-setup/template/backstage/helm/extravolume-patch-rbac-pvc.yaml, ci-scripts/rhdh-setup/template/backstage/rhdh-db/crunchy-postgres-op.yaml
Extra volumes now retain only RBAC and TechDocs storage. The Crunchy Postgres Operator subscription now starts at postgresoperator.v5.8.9.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e8fe7

The chart migration can leave dynamic plugins without the intended storage allocation and can fail installation when reusing a namespace. Both deployment issues should be corrected before merge.

Make the secret creation idempotent. Every other resource creation in backstage_install retries or applies with --dry-run=client. A plain create fails with AlreadyExists when the namespace is reused, and the failure now affects both the Helm and OLM paths.
