I saw the options in values.yaml

users:

- name: pg  
databases:
  - zoo  
options: “SUPERUSER”  
password:  
type: ASCII  
secretName: “rhino-credentials”

databaseInitSQL:  
key: init.sql

Hi  
I’m facing the same problem, configured it according to the docs.  
added the CM but it seems that nothing happens, checked for logs with stern to be sure not to miss anything.

did you find any solution for it ?
