Can't set replica count higher than 1

[paymog]

When I set the replica count higher than 1, I get the following error in a crash loop

Error: initializing server: starting BoltDB: timeout (a possible cause is another Atlantis instance already running)

Hi @paymog, to increase replicas you need to have a shared database. Atlantis allows using redis instead of boltdb for this, but it will not set it up for you. Please take a look here:

helm-charts/charts/atlantis/values.yaml

Lines 705 to 719 in 848e083

	# -- Set the desired Locking DB type
	# Accepts boltdb or redis.
	lockingDbType: ""
	# -- Configure Redis Locking DB.
	# lockingDbType value must be redis for the config to take effect.
	# Check values.yaml for examples.
	redis: {}
	# redis:
	# host: redis.host.name
	# password: myRedisPassword
	# port: 6379
	# db: 0
	# tlsEnabled: false
	# insecureSkipVerify: false

aaah gotcha. It would be nice if that was documented for the replicaCount value in the helm chart

Maybe we can do a check and fail when replica > 1 && lockingDbType != redis. Feel free to send a PR 😃

That would be great, I think just one line of doc would also be useful 🙂
