🚢🤖 Ah, the thrilling saga of Helm charts: where #YAML meets your wildest #DevOps dreams, and somehow, the elusive art of "right-click, inspect" is the zenith of engineering wizardry. Because who wouldn't want to spend their weekends #debugging the labyrinthine mystery of #templating inconsistencies just to save a buck? 💸✨

Our needs are interesting because as a company we offer both a cloud service *and* an on-prem version, both of which run in #k8s environments.

The Enterprise on-prem version can be installed either as pure #HelmCharts or through a higher-level "embedded cluster" from Replicated, for people that don't have the expertise to manage Kubernetes in-house.

We're looking for someone who has experience with self-hosted k8s, not just EKS and similar.

Hey #kubernetes krowd (?)

Say you're using #HelmCharts to spin things up, and you want to kick off some kubernetes jobs...

Do you usualy kick them off via Helm, or do you just do a `kubectl apply -f <somejob.yaml>`?

We're migrating to use #RedHat #OpenShift and we want to take the most advantage of k8s, but we also have a bunch of old batch jobs that are kicked off (distinct #Java and #Python apps)

We don't have any long-running services, but any advice would be 👍

Is it only me, or is the reference/doc for Helm very bad? It's only a bunch of examples without any explizit references how certain features behave.

For example: https://helm.sh/docs/chart_template_guide/values_files/

The docs for value files never explizitly explain how values are merged. Neither the order nor the behaviour with more complex types like maps or slices of data.

Values Files

Default Helm charts in Kubernetes might be like leaving your front door unlocked – sensitive data and weak settings could be inviting trouble. Is your deployment really secure?

We had an expert author (Thanks Martin Loschwitz!) download the source from #opencode and install the sovereign desktop for public administration that includes #opensource software from #univention, #nextcloud, #openproject, #openXchange, #xwiki, #matrix, #jitsi, #collabora. All you need is a #kubernetes cluster and knowledge about #helmcharts, but who does not have that at home? :-) 2/

darn, none of my managers are picked up 🥲

I tried solving the problem by adding more configuration on top which is not ideal #Renovate #HelmCharts

trying to make #Renovate update my mirrored #HelmCharts , seems there are 2 Managers that could do that for me:
- helm-requirements
- helmv3

I’m confused

basically, what I’m trying to achieve is update the cloned helm chart within my git repo from upstream Chart registries. I will have to set “registryAliases” within my “renovate.json” file to make it aware where it should pull those from
