hello, rather new to airbyte. In the chat I've read that helm charts are being developed at the moment? Maybe you guys have an eta when they'll be production ready? Or maybe there's a public backlog of sorts?

@[DEPRECATED] Marcos Marx turned this thread into Zendesk ticket 2567 to ensure timely resolution!

Hey there, yes our Helm charts are still in alpha. We do not currently have a set date for when it will be generally available, however we do have some information in our docs on how to make it more reliable: https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-kubernetes/#production-airbyte-on-kubernetes If you have any specific questions, we can definitely help work through them 🙂

we'd like to use helm charts as they're the default deployment method in the company. 😕 I'm currently having trouble making airbyte use external database. The charts still create airbyte-db but then I keep getting

FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "airbyte"

on

airbyte-db

pod start. Even though, I provided it on configuration.

externalDatabase:
  host: <host>
  user: airbyte
  password: <password>
  database: airbyte
  port: 5432

Could you make sure that you have

postgresql.enabled

set to

false

? It's weird that the db name in the error doesn't match your config, I'm wondering if it is falling back to the default postgres config which needs to be disabled if you're using an external db. Otherwise if you could share your

values.yaml

or full logfile from the error that would be helpful to diagnose this!

It was disabled, but after double checking, there was a type 😅 no more problems at the moment!
