potiuk opened a new issue #18098: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/18098
### Description While I think the random generation is rather useful for quick start, maybe it should be accompanied by a big fat warning (possibly including a warning generated in the UI) - directing user to generate both Fernet Key and Webserver key manually. We already'we done a few of those - for example Sequential executor + Sqlite recently. I think showing a UI warning is the only one that is going to work, but it will be very effective and make people generate those keys eventually. ### Use case/motivation When users install airllow for a "quick" start with Helm Chart, they might not realise, that they should generate the keys. While this is useful to generate the keys, the behaviour is not nice when the Helm Chart is upgraded and the keys regenerated - for example when you use argocd. We should make it very clear for the users trying out airflow, that the setting they use for "quick start" is not good for "production" and rather than relying on generating the keys randomly they should generate and configure their keys manually. ### Related issues https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/18079#issuecomment-915393804 ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [X] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [X] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
