Hey @vermorag,
Following up on #119 and your work on the .helm/ chart in PR #294 — I've built and tested a production-ready Helm chart that fixes all the known Kubernetes deployment issues.
Repo: https://github.com/khalid244/cattr-helm
Helm repo: helm repo add cattr-helm https://khalid244.github.io/cattr-helm
What it fixes
- s6-overlay
/var/run and timeout issues — emptyDir mounts + S6_CMD_WAIT_FOR_SERVICES_MAXTIME=300000
- MySQL trigger creation fails —
--log-bin-trust-function-creators=1 (required for Cattr's migrations that create triggers)
- App starts before DB is ready — init container waits for MySQL TCP
- Cache/session write errors — ephemeral emptyDir mounts for framework cache and sessions
- Migration conflicts — documented workarounds for
redmine_instances duplicate table and Sanctum expires_at column
