Installer 2022-08.01 fails to pull element web into the cluster

Issue

  • After running the setup, the element web pod is stuck in ImagePullBackoff

Environment

  • Element Enterprise Installer 2022-08.01

Resolution

It is necessary to uncomment and give any random value to the following variables in secret.yaml :

dockerhub_username: anyvalue
dockerhub_token: anyvalue

Root Cause

Version 2022-08.01 uses an element web image hosted in ems-image-store. A defect appeared during the migration of the image, and the installers looks for the variables dockerhub_username and dockerhub_token to know if it has to configure docker secrets into the cluster.

Once this secrets are given a value, the installer correctly uses ems_image_store_username and ems_image_store_token to configure the docker secret.
