Gitlab helm chart 8.5.0 sidekiq and webservice pod show message: 'provider' not defined

leetdx · October 25, 2024, 9:22am

Problem to solve

gitlab settup with AKS cluster via helm chart custom values.yaml

sidekiq pod logs option ‘provider’ not defined. webserver pod logs Unable to load application: GitlabSettings::MissingSetting: option ‘provider’ not defined"}

Expectation:
it should use built-in auth method which is using username/password instead of requiring a ‘provider’

Kindly share any suggestion
