What

Makes the busybox image used by the silo deployment's init containers configurable in plane-enterprise, via a new services.silo.init_image value.

# charts/plane-enterprise/templates/workloads/silo.deployment.yaml
       - name: wait-for-rabbitmq
-        image: busybox
+        image: {{ .Values.services.silo.init_image | default "busybox" }}
...
       - name: prepare-ca-bundle
-        image: busybox
+        image: {{ .Values.services.silo.init_image | default "busybox" }}

Both of silo's init containers are covered:

Init container Renders when
wait-for-rabbitmq always (silo enabled)
prepare-ca-bundle plane.s3CAEnabled — i.e. airgapped.enabled=true and an S3 CA secret is configured

Also adds the key to values.yaml (defaulting to busybox), the README settings table, and questions.yml for the Rancher UI.

Follows the services.minio.init_image convention established in #298 — same key name, same | default "busybox" fallback, same docs surfaces.

Why

busybox was hardcoded, forcing an unauthenticated pull from Docker Hub. That breaks:

  • Air-gapped / private-registry installs, where every image must be mirrored to an internal registry. Note this bites hardest on the prepare-ca-bundle container, which only renders when airgapped.enabled=true — so the one init container specific to air-gapped deployments was itself unmirrorable.
  • Docker Hub rate limits, which surface as ImagePullBackOff on the init container, leaving silo stuck in Init: and never starting.

#298 fixed this for services.minio in both charts. Silo was the remaining gap in plane-enterprise.

Scope / behavior

No default behavior change. values.yaml ships init_image: busybox, so rendered output is byte-identical unless overridden.

  • Only affects the silo deployment; nothing renders when services.silo.enabled=false (verified).
  • Uses | default "busybox" so an existing values file predating this key — or setting it empty — still renders busybox rather than an empty image: field. Upgrades need no values-file change.
  • Chart.yaml bumped 3.5.23.5.3, matching the version-bump convention fix(plane-ce): configurable busybox image + mc alias set for MinIO #298 used for plane-ce.

Testing

helm lint charts/plane-enterprise → 1 chart linted, 0 failed.

helm template across every relevant combination, inspecting both init containers:

Values wait-for-rabbitmq prepare-ca-bundle
defaults busybox not rendered
init_image=my.registry/busybox:1.36 my.registry/busybox:1.36 not rendered
S3 CA enabled, defaults busybox busybox
S3 CA enabled + override my.registry/busybox:1.36 my.registry/busybox:1.36
init_image="" (pre-existing values file) busybox not rendered
services.silo.enabled=false not rendered not rendered

S3-CA rows rendered with --set airgapped.enabled=true --set airgapped.s3SecretName=my-ca --set airgapped.s3SecretKey=ca.crt.

Not deployed to a live cluster — this is a template-only value substitution and the rendered manifests above cover it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configuration for selecting the Silo init-container image, defaulting to busybox.
    • Documented the new Silo deployment setting and added it to the deployment configuration options.
  • Chores

    • Updated the Plane Enterprise Helm chart version from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3.

The silo deployment's two init containers (`wait-for-rabbitmq` and the
S3-CA-gated `prepare-ca-bundle`) hardcoded `busybox`, forcing an
unauthenticated Docker Hub pull. That blocks air-gapped installs and
private-registry mirroring, and is exposed to Docker Hub rate limits.

Add `services.silo.init_image`, following the `services.minio.init_image`
convention from makeplane#298, and document it in the README table and
questions.yml. Defaults to `busybox`, so rendered output is unchanged
unless overridden.

Walkthrough

The enterprise Helm chart adds a configurable Silo init-container image, defaults it to busybox, documents the setting, applies it to two init containers, and increments the chart version.

Changes

Silo Init Image Configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and apply Silo init image
charts/plane-enterprise/values.yaml, charts/plane-enterprise/questions.yml, charts/plane-enterprise/templates/workloads/silo.deployment.yaml, charts/plane-enterprise/README.md
Adds services.silo.init_image with a busybox default. The RabbitMQ-wait and CA-bundle init containers use this value. The README documents the setting.
Release chart version
charts/plane-enterprise/Chart.yaml
Updates the chart version from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cbcab

Custom Silo init images must provide the shell and utilities used by the init scripts; otherwise the Silo pod may remain unable to start. The PR is otherwise mergeable with this compatibility requirement documented or explicitly accepted.

A rabbit packs a chart with care
A tiny image fills the air
Init steps wait, then bundles grow
The values guide the pods below

Address CodeRabbit review on makeplane#305: a custom init image must provide the
utilities the init scripts invoke (/bin/sh, grep, nslookup, sleep for
wait-for-rabbitmq; /bin/sh, ls, cat, touch for prepare-ca-bundle),
otherwise the affected init container fails and silo never starts.
