Password Error

If you encounter a PASSWORDS ERROR during a release upgrade, ensure that you provide the current password. The error message may state:

'postgresqlPassword' must not be empty. Please add '--set postgresqlPassword=$POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD' to the command

To retrieve the current password, run the following command:


export POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace <namespace> <release-name>-postgresql -o jsonpath="{.data.postgresql-password}" | base64 --decode)

Then, include the password in the upgrade command as follows:

--set global.postgresql.auth.postgresPassword="somepassword"

Verify that the password is correctly configured to avoid issues during the upgrade process.

Note: Ensure to use a secure password, as it will be assigned to the admin account of the database.
