Hello everyone, I am trying to deploy Airbyte to my EKS cluster with Helm chart 
v0.45.22
and connect it to an external Postgres database using an existing kubernetes secret. Here is my 
values.yaml
Copy code
externalDatabase:
   host: <http://prod-data-platform.cluster-cumb1b60veam.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com|prod-data-platform.cluster-cumb1b60veam.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com>
   user: eterlast
   existingSecret: data-platform-external-secret
   existingSecretPasswordKey: DATABASE_PASSWORD
   database: airbyte
   port: 5432

postgresql:
   enabled: false
However, when I deploy this, I am getting this error from the 
airbyte-bootloader
pod:
Copy code
Error: couldn't find key DATABASE_PASSWORD in Secret data-platform/data-platform-external-secret
I have seen this issue discussed a few times in here, but regardless, it doesn't work for me. Does anyone have a concrete way of getting this to work? Looking into the helm template for the secret.yaml on artifacthub.io, I noticed the the 
DATABASE_PASSWORD
secret is wrapped in an 
if statement
which blocks its creation:
Copy code
{{ if eq .Values.externalDatabase.existingSecret "" -}}
  DATABASE_PASSWORD: {{ .Values.externalDatabase.password | default .Values.postgresql.postgresqlPassword | quote }}
{{ end -}}

A message from kapa.ai
Hello! Based on the information provided, it seems that you are trying to use an existing Kubernetes secret for the external Postgres database. In this case, you should make sure that the existing secret 
data-platform-external-secret
contains the key 
DATABASE_PASSWORD
. However, the error you're encountering is related to the 
airbyte-bootloader
pod, which is not directly related to the external database configuration. The issue might be caused by a misconfiguration in the Helm chart or an issue with the specific version you're using. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information to give you a confident answer yet. I recommend reviewing the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-kubernetes-via-helm) and checking the [Airbyte Slack](https://airbytehq.slack.com) for similar issues or asking for help there.

in the end deleted then entire deployment and added this to my values to explicitly add the 
DATABASE_PASSWORD
env var to the bootloader:
Copy code
airbyte-bootloader:
    extraEnv:
    - name: DATABASE_PASSWORD
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: data-platform-external-secret
          key: DATABASE_PASSWORD
Then redeployed and it worked 🤷‍♂️
