Issue using secret in env helm installation

[rn232]

Hello,
I am having trouble installing Vikunja with Helm.
When I try to pass a k8s secret in the env section, I get this:

Release "vikunja" does not exist. Installing it now.

This is my env part:

  env:
    # To utilize a secret in the environment variables, you can do something like the following: https://github.com/bjw-s/helm-charts/blob/a081de53024d8328d1ae9ff7e4f6bc500b0f3a29/charts/library/common/values.yaml#L141-L145
    # You could also use MySQL or SQLite, but we recommend PostgreSQL.
    # https://vikunja.io/docs/config-options/#type
    VIKUNJA_DATABASE_TYPE: "postgres"
    VIKUNJA_DATABASE_HOST: "vikunja-db-rw"
    VIKUNJA_DATABASE_USER: "vikunja"
    VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD:
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: vikunja-db-app
          key: password
    VIKUNJA_DATABASE_DATABASE: "vikunja"

I also have the problem using raw values too (without secret). Postgresql is disable, I use CNPG.

This issue was already opened here : https://kolaente.dev/vikunja/helm-chart/issues/31

Do you know how to fix it?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I am also having this issue. I tried replacing the valueFrom reference with just the plain string but I run into this anyway.
The only thing that had an effect was to remove the Postgres: block, but then the chart tries to make a Postgres deployment using the (now-removed) bitnami chart.

Correction: The redis image is also using bitnami. This needs to be corrected by the chart maintainers.
