Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Helm 3.x installed
• A Kubernetes cluster (or a local one like kind/k3d)

Add the Helm repository

helm repo add bjw-s https://bjw-s-labs.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

Deploy an application

Create a values.yaml file:

controllers:
  main:
    containers:
      main:
        image:
          repository: nginx
          tag: latest

service:
  main:
    controller: main
    ports:
      http:
        port: 80

Install the chart:

helm install my-app bjw-s/app-template -f values.yaml

Enable IDE autocompletion

Add a $schema reference at the top of your values file for full autocompletion and validation:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bjw-s-labs/helm-charts/main/charts/library/common/values.schema.json
controllers:
  main:
    # ...
