How to ensure re-deployment of helm is "from scratch"

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

Working on Helm deployment ot Content Management (xECM) 25.1 and running into some errors.

Deployment finalizes 100% pass but otac-0 pod doesn't come up and throws:

Enter authenticate
Error: 401 Client Error: for url: http://localhost:8080/ot-admin/rest/auth/users/login
Exit authenticate

When correcting presumed error, I completed helm uninstall + purge on pvcs + cleanup on databases & attempted re-deployment but it fails again with same error message.
Below comment from as_config.log seems to indicate, that corrections may've not been taken into consideration:

isUpgrade=true, Asuming archive server is already installed, Hope OTDS is already configured

This should likely NOT appear for re-installation after a complete purge, right?

Resolved via execution of additional purge related commands (aside for helm delete and kubectl delete pvc —all) which can be found in readme.md —> "Uninstalling the Chart":

If OTAC was deployed remove configMap and job related to otac upgrade

kubectl delete configmap otac-pre-upgrade-configmap

kubectl delete jobs otac-pre-upgrade-job

If OTIV was deployed remove all secrets and service accounts related to otiv

kubectl delete sa otiv-job-sa otiv-pvc-sa

kubectl delete secret otiv-cs-secrets otiv-highlight-secrets otiv-job-sa-token otiv-publication-secrets otiv-publisher-secrets otiv-pvc-sa-token otiv-resource-secret
