Generating apiKey

[apocalypsation1]

Followed your values.yaml chart regarding on apiKey.
I want to create my own api key instead of qdrant generating it.
But when i run together with the helm installl. qdrant will generate one qdrant-vector-apikey and my test-qdrant in secret.
And the statefulset will be using qdrant-vector-apikey instead of test-qdrant.

apiKey:
  valueFrom:
    secretKeyRef:
      name: test-qdrant
      key: qdrant-key

Problem with the use of lookup() function in the helm chart's helpers.tpl file, i don't have a running kubernetes cluster to query the secret from.

{{- $secretObj := (lookup "v1" "Secret" .Release.Namespace (printf "%s-apikey" (include "qdrant.fullname" . ))) | default dict -}}

Helm lookups play extremely bad with ArgoCD. I would be very nice to avoid that and use kubernetes secret volume mounts instead.

I also wanted to bring my own apiKey. Just stumbled upon the lookup. Ideally, qdrant would be referencing the user provided secret directly at runtime.

The biggest hurdle to get there is that the secret containing the apiKey is currently expected to be in some predefined qdrant config format: https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant-helm/blob/main/charts/qdrant/templates/statefulset.yaml#L195
It would be simpler, if the secret would be mounted with key projection of the apiKey.
