Override the Default System YAML File in Helm Installation

There are some advanced use cases where users wish to provide their own system.yaml file to configure the JFrog service. Using this option will override the existing system.yaml in the values.yaml file. There are two ways to override the system.yaml: by using a Custom Init Container and by using an external system.yaml with an existingSecret.

The order of preference would then be as follows.

Custom Init Container
External system.yaml
Default system.yaml in values.yaml

Note

For the Pipelines chart, from chart version 2.2.0 and above, the.Values.existingSecrethas been changed to.Values.systemYaml.existingSecretand.Values.systemYaml.dataKey.

Use a Custom Init Container

The Custom Init Container uses external sources such as vaults, external repositories, etc. to override the system.yaml file.

The following example is for the Xray chart.

Custom Init Container Example

customInitContainers: |
   - name: "custom-systemyaml-setup"
     image: "{{ .Values.initContainerImage }}"
     imagePullPolicy: "{{ .Values.imagePullPolicy }}"
     command:
       - 'sh'
       - '-c'
       - 'wget -O {{ .Values.xray.persistence.mountPath }}/etc/system.yaml https://<repo-url>/systemyaml'
     volumeMounts:
       - mountPath: "{{ .Values.xray.persistence.mountPath }}"
         name: data-volume

Use and External System YAML File

Create an external system.yaml file for one of the services, for example, Xray and give it the filename - xray-cus-sy.yaml.

configVersion: 1
shared:
    logging:
        consoleLog:
            enabled: true
    jfrogUrl: "http://artifactory-artifactory.rt:8082"
    database:
        type: "postgresql"
        driver: "org.postgresql.Driver"
        username: "xray"
        url: "postgres://xray-postgresql:5432/xraydb?sslmode=disable"
server:
    mailServer: ""
    indexAllBuilds: "true"

Create a Kubernetes secret.

kubectl create secret generic sy --from-file ./xray-cus-sy.yaml

Now, use that secret in the relevant section.

systemYamlOverride:
  existingSecret: sy
  dataKey: xray-cus-sy.yaml
