Description

Real secrets should never be in clear text in value.yaml files. Therefore it would be preferrable if existing secrets could be used in the helm chart.

For example using existing imagePullSecrets instead of the secrets generated by the chart:
https://github.com/cockroachdb/helm-charts/blob/2ee4799a807ba8b9710ee316d80bd392ee367bae/cockroachdb/templates/statefulset.yaml#L46

Jira issue: HELM-26

Research direction

Start with the referenced templates/statefulset.yaml section around imagePullSecrets, then inspect the chart's values and other secret-related templates. Trace how the chart currently generates or references secrets. Done means the chart can use existing secrets, including existing imagePullSecrets, without requiring clear-text secret values in value.yaml files.
