After argoproj-labs/argocd-operator#2113, the password has moved from var to file. During HA upgrade, the pods gets the same scripts, but different method of password injection crashing the pre-upgrade pods. The fallback is active only during the migration.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Redis authentication now falls back to the configured environment value when the mounted password is unavailable.
    • Redis initialization, readiness, and liveness checks consistently use the resolved password.
    • Initialization and health checks now fail clearly when no Redis password is configured.
    • HAProxy and Redis/Sentinel configurations receive the resolved authentication value.
    • Redis connectivity checks remain consistent across TLS and non-TLS deployments.

Walkthrough

Redis templates now resolve authentication from the mounted password, with AUTH as a fallback. Initialization, HAProxy setup, liveness, and readiness scripts exit when both sources are empty.

Changes

Redis authentication fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redis initialization credential resolution
argocd-operator/build/redis/init.sh.tpl, build/redis/init.sh.tpl
Initialization uses the mounted password first and AUTH when the mounted value is empty or unavailable. The resolved password is used for Redis connectivity checks and Redis and Sentinel configuration substitution.
HAProxy authentication substitution
argocd-operator/build/redis/haproxy_init.sh.tpl, build/redis/haproxy_init.sh.tpl
HAProxy initialization applies the same fallback, validates that a password exists, escapes the resolved value, and substitutes it into the configuration.
Redis health probe credential resolution
argocd-operator/build/redis/redis_liveness.sh.tpl, argocd-operator/build/redis/redis_readiness.sh.tpl, build/redis/redis_liveness.sh.tpl, build/redis/redis_readiness.sh.tpl
Liveness and readiness scripts use non-empty AUTH when the mounted password is empty. Each script exits with status 1 when both sources are empty.

Where is AUTH variable initialized ? Is it expected to be set as environment variable ?

It WAS the old way of passing it before we changed it to the mounted file. The missing file can either indicate a misconfiguration, or that this is one of the pods not yet rolled out during upgrade so the AUTH var is still part of the pod spec. See the JIRA issue for the exact chain of events I believe lead to this regression.
