RabbitMQ 3.x is end-of-life and no longer receives security updates, so both charts now default to rabbitmq:4.2.9-management-alpine. 4.2 and not 4.3 deliberately: RabbitMQ does not support a direct 3.13 -> 4.3 upgrade (see the version upgradability table), and 4.2 is the supported hop from 3.13. Jumping this default straight to 4.3 would break in-place upgrades for every existing self-host install. A later release moves to 4.3, once installs have landed on 4.2. Two further things break on 4.3 but not on 4.2, which is the other reason to stage it: Celery's control/event queues are declared transient and non-exclusive, which 4.3 denies (fixed application-side in plane-ee by CELERY_CONTROL_QUEUE_EXCLUSIVE / CELERY_EVENT_QUEUE_EXCLUSIVE), and x-consumer-timeout is rejected on classic queues. Both READMEs gain an "Upgrading RabbitMQ from 3.13 to 4.2" section, because a chart upgrade restarts the broker against the existing volume and RabbitMQ requires all stable feature flags to be enabled BEFORE a major upgrade -- without that the 4.2 node refuses to start. It also records that khepri_db must stay disabled, that downgrades do not work, and that an externally managed broker is upgraded on the provider side. Verified on a live 3.13.6 -> 4.2.9 in-place upgrade of a full Plane deployment carrying pre-existing 3.x-era queues: every consumer reattached, queue arguments and durable messages survived, and no service logged a single AMQP error.

Measured on a fresh 3.13.7 node: every stable flag is enabled at birth, so the pre-upgrade step reports nothing to do on any install this chart created. Disabled stable flags only come from volumes carried across older series. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Addresses CodeRabbit review on #304, with the behaviour measured on real 3.13.7 and 4.2.9 brokers rather than inferred: - khepri_db is experimental on 3.13 but STABLE on 4.2, so the same `enable_feature_flag all` that is a safe no-op on 3.13 enables Khepri on 4.2. The previous note generalised the 3.13 measurement and was wrong for 4.2. Documented as a separate, snapshot-first step gated on moving to 4.3. - A 3.13.7 -> 4.2.9 in-place upgrade leaves khepri_db, rabbitmq_4.0.0/4.1.0/ 4.2.0 and rabbit_exchange_type_local_random disabled and keeps Mnesia. 4.3 requires those, so the hop needs an explicit step. - Rollback: a Khepri volume does not refuse 3.x loudly, it hangs in "Waiting for Khepri projections" with the port listening, so check_port_connectivity reports Ready while the broker never serves. Snapshot or blue-green. - Scope the "no queue changes" claim to the single-node broker this chart deploys, and add the classic-mirroring preflight for external/clustered brokers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The probe tolerated 50 failures at 30s intervals -- up to 25 minutes during which a broker that has stopped serving stays in the Service. plane-ce shipped no probe at all, so its broker was Ready from container start onwards. Both charts now run `check_running && check_port_connectivity` every 15s with failureThreshold 3, so a broker that boots but never finishes is out of the Service in ~45s. check_running is the boot-completion check, which is the condition that actually fails here. Measured against real brokers: healthy 4.2.9 PASS (535ms, timeoutSeconds is 10) healthy 4.2.9 + khepri_db PASS 3.13 on a Khepri volume FAIL exit 69 (container never exits) fresh boot, t=2s FAIL -> Ready by t=5s, no flapping No liveness or startup probe on purpose: a Khepri-wedged node is not restart-recoverable, so restarting it would only trade a NotReady pod for a crashloop, and a slow first boot must not be killed. Staying NotReady while booting is correct and harmless -- the clients reconnect. Worth noting for anyone reusing these commands: `rabbitmq-diagnostics ping` PASSES against a node stuck mid-boot, because the runtime is alive even when the broker is not. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…snapshot Measured a 3.13.7 -> 4.2.9 -> 3.13.7 round trip with no feature flags enabled: the 4.2.9 node kept Mnesia, left khepri_db disabled and wrote no Khepri directories, yet 3.13.7 would not boot the volume again. The earlier note blamed khepri_db for this, which understated it -- booting 4.2 at all is the point of no return, and helm rollback does not undo a data-directory change. Snapshot is now step 0 of the runbook rather than a footnote. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by rehearsing this chart upgrade on a real deployment: taking the 4.2.9 default while the application stays on an older build drops the plane-exports, silo-api and silo-integrations consumers to 0, because 4.2 rejects a negotiated frame_max below 8192 and amqplib defaulted to 4096 until 0.10.6. Every pod still reports Ready, and Celery/pika are unaffected, so the failure is easy to miss entirely. This is not the 4.3-only issue it was previously believed to be, so the chart bump is coupled to the app version. Documented with the staging workaround of pinning the broker image while the app catches up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…h it RabbitMQ 4.1+ rejects any connection negotiating a frame_max below 8192, and amqplib sent 4096 until 0.10.6. Deploying the 4.2.9 default under an older Plane build therefore drops the plane-exports, silo-api and silo-integrations consumers to zero -- integrations, imports and exports stop -- while every pod keeps reporting Ready. Verified on a real 3.13.6 -> 4.2.9 rehearsal. `rabbitmq.minPlaneVersion` is the floor; rendering fails with the three ways out rather than deploying a broken stack. It ships EMPTY (inert) and must be set to the first Plane release carrying the amqplib bump when these charts are released alongside that build. Scoped to only the unsafe combination. Verified 15 cases: it fires for a too-old release on a 4.x tag (including a registry:port image and a 4.3 tag), and stays quiet for a version at or above the floor, a broker pinned back to 3.13, an external broker, a branch tag, a prerelease, an untagged image, and an empty floor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…enders A floor that is not a version (a typo like "latest") reached semverCompare and raised an opaque template error, which blocks EVERY render of the chart -- a self-inflicted outage from one bad character in a release commit. It is now validated first and rejected with a message naming the bad value. Also sharpened the values comment: the floor is the first Plane release whose images carry the amqplib bump, normally the same value as that release's appVersion, and it stays pinned there -- raising it in later chart releases would block app versions that are actually fine. Verified 15 cases still behave, plus the two malformed-floor inputs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description
RabbitMQ 3.x is end-of-life and no longer receives security updates. A customer raised it, and both charts still shipped
rabbitmq:3.13.6-management-alpine, so every Kubernetes install was getting an unsupported broker. This changes the default torabbitmq:4.2.9-management-alpine.Companion to makeplane/plane-ee#9162, which makes the application 4.x-compatible and pins the compose files. Without this chart change, that PR does nothing for Helm users.
Why 4.2 and not 4.3
Deliberate. RabbitMQ does not support a direct 3.13 → 4.3 upgrade — per the version upgradability table, 3.13.x users must go to 4.2.x first. Bumping this default straight to 4.3 would hand every existing self-host install an unsupported in-place upgrade. A later release moves to 4.3 once installs have landed on 4.2.
Two further things break on 4.3 but not on 4.2, which is the other reason to stage it:
kombu.pidbox.Mailbox(mingle at worker startup,celery inspect/control) andcelery.events.receiver(gossip, Flower) both declaredurable=False+exclusive=False+auto_delete=True. RabbitMQ 4.3 deniestransient_nonexcl_queuesby default and rejects that with a 541 INTERNAL_ERROR, which is connection-level — so the worker's connection is torn down mid-mingle and it retries forever with zero consumers on the task queue. Fixed application-side in plane-ee#9162 viaCELERY_CONTROL_QUEUE_EXCLUSIVE/CELERY_EVENT_QUEUE_EXCLUSIVE.x-consumer-timeouton classic queues, which 4.3 made quorum-only.Neither bites on 4.2, which is why 4.2 is a safe landing point today.
Upgrade documentation
Both READMEs gain an "Upgrading RabbitMQ from 3.13 to 4.2" section. This is the part that matters most: a chart upgrade restarts the broker StatefulSet against the existing volume, and RabbitMQ requires all stable feature flags to be enabled before a major upgrade. Skip that and the 4.2 node refuses to start, leaving queues unreachable until you roll back. The section also records that:
khepri_dbmust stay disabled — a 3.13 node with Khepri enabled cannot be upgraded to 4.x at all and needs blue-green instead.local_setup: false+external_rabbitmq_url) is upgraded on the provider side, with the same feature-flag prerequisite.Type of Change
Test Scenarios
Verified on a live in-place 3.13.6 → 4.2.9 upgrade of a full Plane deployment in the
plane-eks-devcluster, not just a template render:plane-exportscarriedx-consumer-timeout: 1800000and no queue carriedx-queue-type. Seeded 5 persistent messages in a canary queue.celery,silo-api,silo-integrations,plane.event_stream.automations,plane-exports,plane.webhook, plus Celery'sceleryevandpidboxqueues.rabbitmqctl enable_feature_flag all— 23 stable flags enabled,khepri_dbleft disabled.Result: broker came up as 4.2.9, every consumer reattached, queue arguments were preserved unchanged (including the
x-consumer-timeoutthat 4.3 would reject), all 5 durable canary messages survived, and all ten AMQP-speaking workloads logged zero AMQP errors (api,worker,beat-worker,live,live-exporter,silo,webhook-consumer,agent-consumer,automation-consumer,outbox-poller).Also confirmed along the way, as negative results worth recording:
{timeout,{rabbit,start,...}}).celeryconsumers: 3.13.6 → 1, 4.2.9 → 1, 4.3.5 → 0), which is what pinned the boundary at 4.3 rather than 4.x generally.helm lintpasses for both charts, andhelm templaterendersrabbitmq:4.2.9-management-alpinein both.Notes for reviewers
plane-enterprise3.5.5 → 3.6.0,plane-ce1.8.0 → 1.9.0) because this changes a shipped dependency's major version and adds an operator prerequisite. (Rebased on master 2026-09-01: master had meanwhile released 3.5.5 and taken 1.8.0 for PR feat(plane-ce): extraObjects, so an environment can ship its own ESO manifests (1.8.0) #310, so plane-ce moved to 1.9.0.)values.yaml,questions.ymlandREADME.mdall carried the old pin; all three are updated in each chart so the Rancher UI default matches.plane-cloudchart,services.agent_consumer.envs.queue_nameis set toplane.webhook— identical towebhook_consumer— so when both consumers are enabled they compete for the same queue and each drops roughly half the other's messages. The chart template's own fallback isplane.agentwhile the application default isplane.agents, so those disagree too. Worth a separate fix by whoever owns that chart.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
