BUG: cannot Patch Pod

[xhejtman]

Hello,

even in version 0.5.0, I can see:

{"level":"debug","ts":"2025-06-11T11:14:59.487243677Z","logger":"plugin-barman-cloud-lifecycle","msg":"generated patch","podName":"redmine-postgres-prod-test-1","caller":"/workspace/internal/cnpgi/operator/lifecycle.go:266","content":"[{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/limits/cpu\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/limits/memory\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/requests/cpu\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/requests/memory\"},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/startupProbe/periodSeconds\",\"value\":0},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/startupProbe/successThreshold\",\"value\":0},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/terminationMessagePath\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/terminationMessagePolicy\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/imagePullPolicy\"}]"}
{"level":"info","ts":"2025-06-11T11:14:59.876031308Z","msg":"Pre hook reconciliation start"}

or case with injected envs:

{"level":"debug","ts":"2025-06-11T11:18:35.482768894Z","logger":"plugin-barman-cloud-lifecycle","msg":"generated patch","podName":"redmine-postgres-prod-test-1","caller":"/workspace/internal/cnpgi/operator/lifecycle.go:266","content":"[{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/8/name\",\"value\":\"OMP_NUM_THREADS\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/8/value\"},{\"op\":\"add\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/8/valueFrom\",\"value\":{\"resourceFieldRef\":{\"resource\":\"limits.cpu\",\"divisor\":\"0\"}}},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/9/name\",\"value\":\"SPOOL_DIRECTORY\"},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/9/value\",\"value\":\"/controller/wal-restore-spool\"},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/10/name\",\"value\":\"CUSTOM_CNPG_GROUP\"},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/10/value\",\"value\":\"postgresql.cnpg.io\"},{\"op\":\"add\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/env/11\",\"value\":{\"name\":\"CUSTOM_CNPG_VERSION\",\"value\":\"v1\"}},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/limits/cpu\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/limits/memory\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/requests/cpu\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/resources/requests/memory\"},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/startupProbe/periodSeconds\",\"value\":0},{\"op\":\"replace\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/startupProbe/successThreshold\",\"value\":0},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/terminationMessagePath\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/terminationMessagePolicy\"},{\"op\":\"remove\",\"path\":\"/spec/initContainers/1/imagePullPolicy\"}]"}

messages in plugin-barman-cloud preventing replicas to start. Despite it should be fixed by #378, it is not.

the env case can be workarounded by setting the env explicitly in cluster config. No idea how to deal with the others. Thanks.

Ok, my bad. The problem here is, that it is not sufficient to upgrade deployment image to 0.5.0, but also the secret that references the sidecar image. After that, it is working as expected.
