How to configure API_TOKEN_PEPPERS for netbox helm chart

[fuegito]

Hi,

I'm running netbox in a kubernetes cluster using the netbox helm chart.

Pepper tokens have been supported since netbox 4.5.x.
Maybe I'm thinking in completely the wrong direction...

To do this, a dictionary “API_TOKEN_PEPPERS” should be configured as follows, for example:

API_TOKEN_PEPPERS = {
  1: “somelongtoken”
}

If I map this in my values.yaml, for example, as follows:

extraConfig:
  - values:
      API_TOKEN_PEPPERS:
        1: “kdfjksjdfklsjfjsdlkfjksdjfksjkfljfjklsfjklsdjfkjskljfksldjfklsjlkjkfldsjkl”

Then the following error occurs when starting up the container: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Invalid API_TOKEN_PEPPERS key: 1. All keys must be integers.

The thing is, json and yaml do not support integers as keys in a dictionary. These are always converted to a string during parsing. So it wouldn't make any difference to store the attribute as a Secret or ConfigMap.

Does anyone have any tips on how to configure this?
