Artifactory CPP-CE helm chart deployment fails, reasons unclear
hi,
I am trying to get the Helm chart for artifactory the cpp community edition working.
The overall logs are spammed with missing join key, but actually other log elements tell that it's found.
As the overall log file wasn't really helping at all and also the existing issues did not provide a usable solution to the fishy reasons, why it's not running at all, I did try to concentrate on the artifactory container.
This NPE jumped at me, I would guess it's at least one of the reasons artifactory does not start up properly.

On the other side, a goroutine stack trace mentions a missing shared.security.joinKey, see:

Overall I tried at least 4 different Chart versions, with similar output, except the NPE is new since 7.117.17
Logfile of the artifactory container of the artifactory pod, last try with updated helm chart to 7.117.18 logs-artifactory-2025-10-09-3.txt
Full Logfile of all containers: logs-2025-10-09.txt
values.yml, stripped off passwords and image tags, as these come from an internal docker repository. values-stripped.yml
Could be related to #1859, maybe #1482 and #1479. I think I remember additional issues might be related, but cannot find them ad-hoc.
