Question

Hey y all I m using the helm chart for dagster and I ve built a docker image for the user repository It works fine when calling regular ops but I also have DBT chained to it The issue I m running into is how to get a profiles yaml file with the right settings onto the docker image for my user repository It has to be dynamic in that the connection string settings will differ in my staging and production environment but I want to reuse the same docker image obviously The helm chart for dagster has volume and volumeMounts as settings in values yaml but when I set these it doesn t seem to do anything I was looking at the source for dagster s helm templates and I don t see these custom volume mount values being referenced anywhere so maybe they aren t functional currently It looks like you also can t mount local hostpaths either which is a bummer I d like to be able to do that for running out of k8 locally while developing Anyone figure out a way to get the profiles yaml for dbt setup in their docker image running in k8 with the helm package for dagster Or any tips Thanks

we re doing this with env vars and k8s secrets

as an example we have entries like this in our profiles yaml ``` host env var DBT DB HOST port env var DBT DB PORT 1234 | as number ``` <https docs getdbt com reference dbt jinja functions env var> Looking further in the docs there are some special things enabled if you prefix the env vars with `DBT ENV SECRET ` so maybe do that

the user code helm chart defines an `envSecrets` parameter you ll need to tie this all together

Thanks < Adam Bloom> I didn t know you could replace values in files like that I m still kind of new to k8

That s a dbt specific implementation but yeah lots of opportunities to use env vars instead of hard coding things
