Neo4j Helm Chart: Bloom or GDS licenses folder empty

When deploying Neo4j via Helm charts and Bloom or GDS licenses are deployed using the documented process:

https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/kubernetes/configuration/#_install_gds_enterprise_edition_ee_and_bloom_plugins

The /licenses folder inside the container is empty.

This results in

• Bloom displaying a license error on login
• GDS is restricted to Community Edition

Workaround

Create the gds-bloom-license secret as per the documentation. For example, using the following command

kubectl create secret generic --from-file=gds.license,bloom.license gds-bloom-license

The following configuration can then be add to values.yml as a work around:

additionalVolumes:
  - name: license-keys
    secret:
      secretName: gds-bloom-license
      items:
          - key: bloom.license
            path: bloom.license
      items:
          - key: gds.license
            path: gds.license

additionalVolumeMounts:
  - name: license-keys
    mountPath: /licenses/local
    readOnly: true

This will cause the bloom.license and gds.license to be mounted in /licenses/local/.

This requires the following configuration to be adjusted to reflect the worked around license location:

config:
 dbms.bloom.license_file: "/licenses/local/bloom.license"
 gds.enterprise.license_file: "/licenses/local/gds.license"
