UNCLASSIFIED / NON CLASSIFIÉ Hi Dmitri,
I was not aware of this feature! That would probably be the simplest solution, adding that config to the helm chart would suffice for my needs! Thanks, R.J. -----Original Message----- From: Dmitri Bourlatchkov <[email protected]> Sent: November 19, 2025 2:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Re-introduce automatic realm bootstrapping in the Helm chart EXTERNAL EMAIL – USE CAUTION / COURRIEL EXTERNE – FAITES PREUVE DE PRUDENCE Hi Reginald, Just a quick note, I'm not sure if you are aware of it, but the polaris.persistence.auto-bootstrap-types config property allows automatic bootstrapping. It defaults to in-memory storage only, but could be overridden for JDBC as well. A test example is in [1]. I hope this config is sufficient for most test and getting-started cases. It can be set as an env. var in docker or k8s. I'm not sure if our helm charts already provide a value for it, but it should be fairly straightforward to add one. Would that work for you?
