Unable to connect to external postgre database on GCP since 2.51 update on kubernetes

[DarioBH]

I just updated from version 2.50.3 to the latest version. Up to this moment, i was connecting to an external postgre database in GCP, but since the last update im getting a "password authentication failed" error when trying to deploy. Here is an example of what i had until this update:

postgresql:
architecture: standalone
auth:
database: <db_name>
existingSecret: defectdojo-postgresql-specific
password: ""
secretKeys:
adminPasswordKey: postgresql-postgres-password
replicationPasswordKey: postgresql-replication-password
userPasswordKey: postgresql-password
username:
enabled: false
postgresServer:
....
extraEnv:

• name: DD_DATABASE_URL
  valueFrom:
  secretKeyRef:
  key: DD_DATABASE_URL
  name: secret

The value of DD_DATABASE_URL was something like postgres://:@:/<db_name> with the password encoded with urlencoder.

In this update, i see that postgresServer was moved from postgresql.postgresServer. I did this change, but it still no working. I tried multiple things but none worked. Any idea of what the problem can be?

try smtg like:

postgresServer: defect-dojo-rw.defect-dojo-db.svc.cluster.local # your hostname; note this is a top-level value

postgresql:
  enabled: false
  auth:
    username: defect-dojo # your database user
    database: defect-dojo # your database name
    secretKeys:
      adminPasswordKey: password
      userPasswordKey: password
    existingSecret: external-secrets-db # yoursecret

n this update, i see that postgresServer was moved from postgresql.postgresServer

I think docs are simply misleading 🙈
