You're right that the common library has been moved. I'll need to update the dependency URLs in this repo, but that won't affect installation of any of these charts. Helm bundles dependency charts when a chart is built, so that only breaks my CI and not your installation!
That sounds about right, I haven't checked on this and if I recall we had an issue with doing a pretty vanilla install of the chart where the config template that was sourced made a pretty empty config. I'll have to test again later but that might be true.
I want to say it was something with the initContainer putting the config down it needed, but it was pretty empty.
You're right. By default the chart writes a mostly empty file with a comment explaining that envs are preferred, so the file should have existed. I need to update these charts anyways so I'll see if I can replicate.
ahh that makes more sense to me now.
When I initially deployed it with minimal values set I assumed it would have installed successfully.

The logs do mention config not being found as expected

I still need to dive into configuring more later. The init container does say its giving it an empty config, thats on me for not reading that the environment variables still needed
k logs -n headscale -l app.kubernetes.io/name=headscale -c config
Writing empty config
Perhaps an improvement idea could be the init container can drop the link to the config section in the doc's as well, that way the next person who is as excited as I was to install it without reading the doc's can figure that out quicker than I did. 😅
