What

Makes the busybox image used by the live deployment's prepare-ca-bundle init container configurable in plane-enterprise, via a new services.live.init_image value.

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

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 from #298 — same key name, same | default "busybox" fallback, same docs surfaces.

Why

busybox was hardcoded, forcing an unauthenticated pull from Docker Hub — which breaks private-registry mirroring and is exposed to Docker Hub rate limits, surfacing as ImagePullBackOff with live stuck in Init:.

The sharp edge here: prepare-ca-bundle renders only when plane.s3CAEnabled is true — that is, airgapped.enabled=true with an S3 CA secret configured. So the one init container that exists exclusively for air-gapped installs was itself the one image an air-gapped install couldn't mirror.

Scope / behavior

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

  • Only renders when a custom S3 CA is configured. On a default install this init container does not exist at all (verified: 0 occurrences).
  • 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.
  • services.live_exporter deliberately gets no equivalent key. It shares the makeplane/live-commercial image but has no init containers at all (verified: 0 initContainers blocks), so an init_image there would be dead config.
  • 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.

Testing

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

helm template across the relevant combinations:

Values prepare-ca-bundle image
defaults (no S3 CA) init container not rendered
S3 CA on, defaults busybox
S3 CA on + init_image=my.registry/busybox:1.36 my.registry/busybox:1.36
S3 CA on + init_image="" (pre-existing values file) busybox

S3-CA rows rendered with --set airgapped.enabled=true --set airgapped.s3SecretName=my-ca --set airgapped.s3SecretKey=ca.crt. I also probed plane.s3CAEnabled directly to confirm the gate evaluates true under those flags, so the "not rendered" row above reflects the gate and not a silently broken template.

Also confirmed live-exporter.deployment.yaml renders no initContainers block under the same S3-CA flags.

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

With this and #305 merged, no hardcoded busybox remains in either chart.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configuration for the Live service’s initialization container image, defaulting to BusyBox.
    • Improved support for custom S3 CA bundles in air-gapped environments.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new Live initialization image setting.
  • Chores

    • Updated the Enterprise Helm chart version to 3.5.3.

The live deployment's `prepare-ca-bundle` init container hardcoded
`busybox`, forcing an unauthenticated Docker Hub pull. This container
only renders when a custom S3 CA is configured (`airgapped.enabled`
with an S3 CA secret) -- so the one init container specific to
air-gapped installs was itself unmirrorable.

Add `services.live.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.

`services.live_exporter` needs no equivalent -- it has no init
containers.

Walkthrough

The enterprise Helm chart adds a configurable services.live.init_image value. The Live CA-bundle init container uses this value with a busybox fallback. The chart values, installer questions, documentation, and version are updated.

Changes

Live init image configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure Live init image
charts/plane-enterprise/values.yaml, charts/plane-enterprise/questions.yml, charts/plane-enterprise/templates/workloads/live.deployment.yaml, charts/plane-enterprise/README.md, charts/plane-enterprise/Chart.yaml
The chart defines services.live.init_image with a busybox default. The deployment uses the value for CA-bundle preparation, the installer question and README document the setting, and the chart version increases to 3.5.3.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fd805

Custom live init images must provide the shell and file utilities used by certificate preparation; otherwise air-gapped deployments can remain stuck during initialization. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to document this image compatibility requirement.

A rabbit packed BusyBox light
For Live’s init container flight

Address CodeRabbit review on makeplane#306: a custom init image must provide the
utilities the prepare-ca-bundle script invokes (/bin/sh, ls, cat, touch),
otherwise the init container fails and live never starts.
