Using existingConfigMap with helm chart as per documentation does not work

[andrewrmiller]

I am trying to follow the documentation here to use a ConfigMap with the Verdaccio helm chart.

The instructions are straightforward:

• Download the official config.yaml
• Use kubectl to create a ConfigMap
• Use --set on the helm commnad line to use the ConfigMap

I have done these things but my Verdaccio container will not start. The only thing in the logs is a single error:

fatal--- cannot open config file /verdaccio/conf/config.yaml: Error: CONFIG: it does not look like a valid config file

Are the steps in the documentation correct? And if so, how can I debug this?

It seems that the filename used for the config file matters. You must use config.yaml otherwise the ConfigMap that gets created has a filename that Verdaccio doesn't recognize.
