A clean install of the chart will not work with 1.5.2. Will produce errors trying to chown the sqlite db which does not exist yet.

Upgrading from 1.4.X will allow the app to start, but any cscli command crashes the lapi pod.

So if I merged #100 it will have issues can anyone confirm it causes issues?

Are you using persistent volumes ? normally this issue can happen when you are mounting a config.yaml

@LaurenceJJones These values work for me using the chart as it is with 1.4.5. I have not tested anything past that or tried manually setting the chart image.

values:
    container_runtime: containerd
    agent:
      acquisition:
        - namespace: network
      podName: ingress-nginx-controller-*
      program: nginx
      env:
        - name: COLLECTIONS
          value: "crowdsecurity/nginx"
        - name: PARSERS
          value: "crowdsecurity/cri-logs"

More to the point of the original issue is I don't have any problems with cscli commands and lapi crashing with these almost factory settings.

@LaurenceJJones yes, I am.

On a completely fresh install (no existing persistent volumes), this will fail if I set tag = v1.5.2. However, with tag = v1.4.6 it works.

I did a little digging when troubleshooting, it seemed to be related to https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec/blob/master/docker/docker_start.sh#L276 so I disabled the config pvc. That let me get a little further in the startup but it still eventually failed with the same chown error.

My next approach was to do a clean install with v1.4.6 and then upgrade to v1.5.2. This allowed me to get past the chown errors, but when I tried to perform any cscli command, even cscli --help, the lapi pod would crash. I do not have any cscli issues on v1.4.6.

I did indeed observe the same issues after uninstalling crowdsec and forcing image v1.5.2 so I did a little investigation and I noticed k8s was OOM killing the agents. So I upped the default resource of 100Mi memory limit and i'm no longer getting crashing lapi or agent pods when using the cscli command.
