Using default values.local.yaml results in crash-loop

[msnelling]

I'm using the supplied values.local.yaml file to start testing Authelia but installation with this seems to result in a crash-loop. Here's the error log.

Looks like the users_database.yml file isn't deployed with the container image directly. I ran into the same problem with chart v0.4.19. You can grab the example from the main authelia repo here, and convert it to a kube secret to mount to the container, or store it on a persistent volume and mount that.

Yeah you're correct @jimsantora. I can add that to the guide. The issue is we have to decide between setting up a temporary init container to create the file due to the hashes, or wait for SQL backed auth.

For reference, here's the (very bare-bones) values override file that worked for me after creating the secret:

pod:
  kind: StatefulSet
  extraVolumeMounts:
    - name: users-database
      mountPath: "/config/users"
      readOnly: true
  extraVolumes:
    - name: users-database
      secret:
        secretName: authelia-users         
        items:
          - key: users_database.yml
            path: users_database.yml
configMap:
  authentication_backend:
    ldap:
      enabled: false
    file:
      enabled: true
      password:
        algorithm: sha512
        iterations: 100000
      path: /config/users/users_database.yml
  session:
    redis:
      enabled: false
  storage:
    local:
      enabled: true
    postgres:
      enabled: false
  notifier:
    filesystem:
      enabled: true
    smtp:
      enabled: false
  identity_providers:
    oidc:
      enabled: false

This is very helpful @jimsantora do you mind posting the secret yaml as well please?
