using the following command:

helm install mongodb bitnami/mongodb --set mongodbRootPassword=root --set mongodbUsername=myapp --set mongodbPassword=myapp --set mongodbDatabase=mydb --set replicaSet.enabled=true --set auth.enabled=false --set architecture=replicaset

Creating the following pods:

pod/mongodb-0           1/1     Running             0          17s
pod/mongodb-1           0/1     ContainerCreating   0          6s
pod/mongodb-arbiter-0

But it only add the pod/mongodb-0 to the rs. when I exec into pod/mongodb-1 and do rs.status() I get

MongoServerError: no replset config has been received

What am I doing wrong?

The problem seems with helm install is that just giving the number of replica number is not enough and the replicaSet configuration is not done automatically. To fix this I had to run the rs.add commands manually by adding them to the values.yml file in the initdbScripts part.

So adding this to the initdbScripts in the values.yml file that I am passing in for the helm install solved the issue for me.

initdbScripts: 
  setup_replicaset_script.js : |
    rs.add("mongo-mongodb-0.mongo-mongodb-headless.svc.cluster.local:27017")
    rs.add("mongo-mongodb-1.mongo-mongodb-headless.svc.cluster.local:27017")
    rs.add("mongo-mongodb-2.mongo-mongodb-headless.svc.cluster.local:27017")

You can get the node addresses, after the helm install, in the bit that say; MongoDB® can be accessed on the following DNS name(s) and ports from within your cluster:
