New Deployment on Kubernetes (Error regarding secret_key)

I was doing a fresh install of AWX 21 operator on Kubernetes with external postgres DB and had it working on Friday night.

I then went to try fixing LDAP yesterday, redeployed and starting getting errors related to the secret key.

ERROR [-] awx.main.utils.encryption Failed to decrypt Setting(pk=5).value; if you’ve recently restored from a database backup or are running in a clustered environment, check that your SECRET_KEY value is correct

I can cat the secret key on task and get it. I can configure the secret key in my spec and then reapply but it keeps complaining about it. If I redeploy the secret key changes so my spec becomes outdated.

I obviously don’t understand this behavior and what I’m doing wrong but I can’t seem to get past this.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.
