Zammad Kubernetes Deployment Init Job Fails Due to Elasticsearch Slow Startup

Hello,

I am encountering an issue during the deployment of Zammad on Kubernetes. The initialization job fails because Elasticsearch takes too long to start. This delay prevents the initialization process from completing successfully.

  • Used Zammad version: 6.4.1
  • Used Zammad installation type: k8s, official image
  • Operating system: debian
  • Browser + version: vivaldi 7.0.3495.29

Expected behavior:

  • Zammad initializes successfully during deployment, with the init job completing without errors.
  • Elasticsearch starts in a timely manner and becomes available before the Zammad initialization process begins.

Actual behavior:

  • The Zammad initialization job fails due to Elasticsearch being slow to start.
  • Logs indicate a timeout or failure to connect to Elasticsearch during the initialization process.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Deploy Zammad on Kubernetes using [Helm/custom manifests, specify method].
  • Configure Elasticsearch as a required dependency within the same deployment.
  • Deploy the stack and monitor the logs of the Zammad init job.
  • Observe that the job fails due to the unavailability of Elasticsearch.
