hey @angelnu

great job on the cluster - i'm going for a similar setup to your gitea release I see that value for gitea.config.database.PASSWD is defined in the corresponding secret.yaml -- how are you defining this / doing anything special? Sorry for asking you this - i haven't found similar use in flux docs / other articles / repos

I define the db password as the following, do you define yours as similar? This would be a big help in moving forward with sops setup - ty!

    gitea.yaml: |
        gitea:
            config:
                database:
                    PASSWD: PASSWD

HI @jakeschurch

You can do that with fromvalues https://fluxcd.io/legacy/helm-operator/helmrelease-guide/values/ it is the legacy doc but the option still exits in v2

There is also a way to set global variables with substitutefrom https://fluxcd.io/docs/components/kustomize/kustomization/

Thanks for responding @angelnu - right - that is my setup but the PASSWD is not getting propogated - only the db values defined in spec.values are.

If things look pretty correct I can try to take it up with the K8 at home discord. Thanks again!

thanks again - for flux v2 ive found that using targetPath for single values is the best way to go for me - tysm again!
