Description
The three external-database guides (MongoDB, PostgreSQL/RDS, Redis) only document the connection URL variables for Kubernetes/Helm installs. With the chart-managed databases left enabled, the chart keeps deploying the embedded database pods, and the Appsmith pod's init containers gate startup on those unused internal databases — the init containers check only the
*.enabledflags, not the external URLs.Changes per guide (Kubernetes snippets):
mongodb.enabled: falseandmongodbCommunity.enabled: false(Bitnami subchart and MongoDB Kubernetes Operator resource — whichever the installation uses).postgresql.enabled: falseandAPPSMITH_KEYCLOAK_DB_DRIVER: postgresql. Without the explicit driver, charts up to 3.9.0 resolve the driver toh2and Keycloak silently persists SSO data to a local file inside the pod instead of the external database (chart 3.9.1 infers it via fix(helm): infer Keycloak DB driver from external database URL appsmith#42076, but the explicit value is correct on every version).redis.enabled: false.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
