---

Contains environment variables and can be defined in few different formats

Examples:

env:
# Key/Value pairs
  ADMIN_PASS: password
# Key/Value pairs (tpl)
  ADMIN_PASS: "{{ .Values.app.password }}"

# ConfigMap Key Reference
  ADMIN_PASS:
    configMapKeyRef:
      name: configMap_name
      key: configMap_key
# ConfigMap Key Reference (tpl)
  ADMIN_PASS:
    configMapKeyRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.config.name }}"
      key: "{{ .Values.config.key }}"

# Secret Key Reference
  ADMIN_PASS:
    secretKeyRef:
      optional: true / false
      name: secret_name
      key: secret_key
# Secret Key Reference (tpl)
  ADMIN_PASS:
    secretKeyRef:
      optional: true / false
      name: "{{ .Values.config.name }}"
      key: "{{ .Values.config.key }}"

Key: envList

Info:

• Type: list

• Helm Template:
  • name: ✅
  • value: ✅

Can be defined in:

• .Values.envList
• .Values.additionalContainers.envList
• .Values.initContainers.envList
• .Values.installContainers.envList
• .Values.upgradeContainers.envList
• .Values.systemContainers.envList
• .Values.jobs.[job-name].podSpec.containers.[container-name].envList

---

Mainly designed to be used in the SCALE GUI. So users can pass additional environment variables.

Examples:

envList:
  # List entry
  - name: ADMIN_PASS
    value: password
  # List entry (tpl)
  - name: "{{ .Values.envName }}"
    value: "{{ .Values.password }}"

  • value: ✅

Can be defined in:

• .Values.envFrom
• .Values.additionalContainers.envFrom
• .Values.initContainers.envFrom
• .Values.installContainers.envFrom
• .Values.upgradeContainers.envFrom
• .Values.systemContainers.envFrom
• .Values.jobs.[job-name].podSpec.containers.[container-name].envFrom

---

Used to load multiple environment variables from a configMap or a secret. With a single list entry, it will load all keys as environment variables defined in the specified object.

Examples:

envFrom:
  # List entry
  - secretRef:
      name: secretName
  - configMapRef:
      name: configMapName
  # List entry (tpl)
  - secretRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.secretName }}"
  - configMapRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.configMapName }}"

• .Values.TZ
• .Values.additionalContainers.TZ
• .Values.initContainers.TZ
• .Values.installContainers.TZ
• .Values.upgradeContainers.TZ
• .Values.systemContainers.TZ
• .Values.jobs.[job-name].podSpec.containers.[container-name].TZ

---

Usually defined from the SCALE's GUI dropdown. It is also injected as environment variable into the container. It can also be used to pass timezone to other environment variables an app would use.

Only applied used when injectFixedEnvs is set to true.

Example:

TZ: UTC

• .Values.initContainers.security
• .Values.installContainers.security
• .Values.upgradeContainers.security
• .Values.systemContainers.security
• .Values.jobs.[job-name].podSpec.containers.[container-name].security

---

Used to define a default PUID and UMASK to containers.

If not defined it will use the .Values.global.defaults.security Only applied used when injectFixedEnvs is set to true.

Examples:

security:
