Zabbix Helm chart 8.0.1

Caution

Pay attention to changes of release 8.0.0: https://github.com/zabbix-community/helm-zabbix/releases/tag/zabbix-8.0.0

Fixes

Zabbix Server HA works again. With chart 8.0.0, zabbixServer.zabbixServerHA.enabled=true failed with ImagePullBackOff: the default DB job image 8.0-20261009150714 was never published. The chart now uses DB job images built from Zabbix 8.0.0 (tagSuffix: "20261107172746") and the new HA labels sidecar 20261107173134.
First helm upgrade enabling HA (#201): the DB job now has its own ServiceAccount/Role/RoleBinding (<fullname>-create-upgrade-db), created as hooks before it runs.
Argo CD (#231): the job no longer relies on .Release.IsUpgrade. With dbCreateUpgradeJob.hookType: auto (default), it detects an install or upgrade by checking whether the Zabbix Server Deployment exists.
Passive Zabbix Proxy (ZBX_PROXYMODE: 1) starts again: no port is appended to ZBX_SERVER_HOST. In active mode, ZBX_SERVER_PORT is appended to each ;-separated HA node without a port.
A failed DB job no longer blocks the next upgrade (before-hook-creation).
DB job image setting: a tagSuffix without quotes no longer renders an invalid image tag such as 8.0-%!s(int64=...) (zabbix-community/helm-zabbix-image-db-init-upgrade-job#2).
prepare_db: command not found (#219): the new job images support the modular entrypoint of the Zabbix images.
Trunk images in HA mode (#233): they are still not supported, but the chart now fails with a clear message that explains how to set dbCreateUpgradeJob.image.tag.

New values

Value	Default	Description
`zabbixServer.zabbixServerHA.dbCreateUpgradeJob.hookType`	`auto`	`auto`, `install` or `upgrade`
`zabbixServer.zabbixServerHA.dbCreateUpgradeJob.waitTimeout`	`900`	Maximum seconds for each wait of the job
`zabbixServer.zabbixServerHA.dbCreateUpgradeJob.activeDeadlineSeconds`	empty	Maximum job duration. Schema upgrades of big databases can take hours
`zabbixProxy.affinity`	`{}`	Replaces the global `affinity` for the proxy only
`zabbixProxy.minReadySeconds`	`0`	For example, `60` avoids restarting all the replicas of a proxy group at once
`zabbixProxy.updateStrategy`	`{}`	StatefulSet update strategy, for example `rollingUpdate.partition`

Upgrading from 8.0.0

No changes to values.yaml are required. With HA, the <fullname>-ha-helper ServiceAccount is replaced by <fullname>-create-upgrade-db, which gets the annotations from zabbixServerHA.serviceAccount.annotations. For long schema upgrades, increase Helm's --timeout.

PgBouncer

If a PgBouncer in front of PostgreSQL rejects the search_path option sent by the DB job, set POSTGRES_USE_IMPLICIT_SEARCH_PATH=true in zabbixServer.extraEnv. The job receives the same variables.
