Can we ensure that the notify_push-plugin is installed? Maybe something like this?

lifecycle:
postStart:
exec:
command: ["occ", "app:install notify_push"]

And we have to active that plugin by running sudo -u www-data ./occ notify_push:setup https://NEXTCLOUD_HOST/push. Maybe we should add a little script like this (pseudocode):

if (!notify_push installed)
install notify_push
/occ notify_push:setup https://NEXTCLOUD_HOST/push

I think it makes sense to give this option so the installation and setup is completely automatic, but I'd rather put it behind a second config flag:

notify_push:
enabled: trueautomatic_setup: true

Maybe some people don't want to have this done automatically, so it's nice to give them the option.

[wrenix]

Therefore we has that hook of the container script (see #525), i write a ConfigMap for it.

PS: the same way, then in #480 (@provokateurin you wanted to take a look there ...)

PSS: Does somebody test this/my code?

andre@server:~/k8s/nextcloud$ helm upgrade -n nextcloud akops-nextcloud -f values.yml ./helm/charts/nextcloud/Error: UPGRADE FAILED: template: nextcloud/templates/notify_push/deployment.yaml:41:31: executing "nextcloud/templates/notify_push/deployment.yaml" at <$.Values.global.image.registry>: nil pointer evaluating interface {}.image

[AndreKoepke]

When I remove the global-references, then I got this error:

andre@server:~/k8s/nextcloud$ helm upgrade -n nextcloud akops-nextcloud -f values.yml ./helm/charts/nextcloud/Error: UPGRADE FAILED: YAML parse error on nextcloud/templates/notify_push/deployment.yaml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 41: did not find expected key

[wrenix]

Oh sorry, that was a copy-paste error.
normally i has on my helm-charts a global.image part to overwrite for registry and so on.

I was able to try an install. The result was this:

ConfiguringRedis as session handler
=>Searching for scripts (*.sh) to run, located in the folder:/docker-entrypoint-hooks.d/before-starting
==>Running the script (cwd:/var/www/html):"/docker-entrypoint-hooks.d/before-starting/notify_push.sh"

🗴 push server is not receiving redis messages (received 272721789, got 0)
==>Failed at executing "/docker-entrypoint-hooks.d/before-starting/notify_push.sh".Exit code:1

Edit

I have a password for redis and it was not set. Can add this like this?

 - name: REDIS_URLvalue: "redis://:<PASSWORD>@{{ template "nextcloud.redis.fullname" . }}-master:{{ .Values.redis.master.service.ports.redis }}"

When I did this locally, then we have the chicken-egg-problem ...
The notify_push application needs a running nextcloud-instance to fully start. And the nextcloud-instance need a running notify_push.

Maybe there is a better hook after nextcloud has started?

[AndreKoepke]

With the fixed port, I still unable to run it.

Logs from notify_push pod:

@wrenix I'm updated your push file to be .tpl instead of .gotmpl to match the rest of the tpl files. I may also pop in here and write a quick test so this gets tested in CI?

[wrenix]

move the test developing to #697
