SSV-node HostAddress settings missing

[GiraeffleAeffle]

Background

The ssv-node UDP service is not working with the current state of the helm charts, because the HostAddress ( external IP of k8s cluster ) is not configured in the configmap.yaml. This has the effect that other participants in the p2p network can't be found and connected to. In the ssv docs manual how to run a node they provide a section with other configuration which is not part of the helm charts in the current form.

p2p:
  HostAddress: 206.22.63.189
  UdpPort: 12001
  TcpPort: 13001

Solution

Analog to the init container in the statefulset of the lighthouse or teku chart the external IP would have to be grabbed by writing a script like here that adds this configuration to the configmap.yaml.
