Description

I just tried your latest changes with a ArgoCD deployment, by specifing a apiKeys via an existing secret like

apiKey:
  valueFrom:
     secretKeyRef:
       name: "secretname"
       key: "apikeyname"

This doesn't work, as ArgoCD doesn't support the helm lookup function:
https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/5202

During debugging the issue I found out, that the qdrant helm chart tries to read the existing k8s secret and creates a new secret.

I'm looking for some alternative solution to specify the api keys outside the qdrant helm chart, so that I don't have to put the secerts as cleartext into our deployment repos... any suggestion?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the qdrant Helm chart's existing-secret lookup and the linked ArgoCD limitation around Helm lookup. Define an approach that lets api keys come from an external Kubernetes secret without placing secret values in deployment repositories, then verify that the chart renders and deploys correctly through ArgoCD.
