# Library chart for k8s@home media charts
**WARNING: THIS CHART IS NOT MEANT TO BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY**
This is a [Helm Library Chart](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/library_charts/#helm). It's purpose is for grouping common logic between the k8s@home charts.
Since a lot of charts follow the same pattern this library was built to reduce maintenance cost between the charts that use it and try achieve a goal of being DRY.
## Introduction
This chart provides common template helpers which can be used to develop new charts using [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.
## :star2: Changelog
Please refer to [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for an overview of notable changes to the chart. **This is especially important for major version updates!**
## TL;DR
When using one of the many charts that uses this library be sure to view this [values.yaml](./values.yaml) for configuration options. Any setting here can be used to define what values your helm deployment will use.
For example using the helm CLI tool
```bash
helm install node-red \
--set image.repository="nodered/node-red" \
--set image.tag="1.2.5" \
--set env.TZ="America/New_York" \
k8s-at-home/node-red
```
or
```yaml
# node-red-values.yaml
image:
repository: nodered/node-red
tag: 1.2.5
env:
TZ: America/New_York
```
```bash
helm install node-red \
--values=./node-red-values.yaml \
k8s-at-home/node-red
```
## Creating a new chart
First be sure to checkout the many charts that already use this like [qBittorrent](../qbittorrent/), [node-red](../node-red/) or the many others in this repository.
Include this chart as a dependency in your `Chart.yaml` e.g.
```yaml
# Chart.yaml
dependencies:
- name: common
version: x.x.x
repository: https://k8s-at-home.com/charts/
```
Write a `values.yaml` with some basic defaults you want to present to the user e.g.
```yaml
# Default values for node-red.
image:
repository: nodered/node-red
pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
tag: 1.2.5
strategy:
type: Recreate
# See more environment varaibles in the node-red documentation
# https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/docker
env: {}
# TZ:
# NODE_OPTIONS:
# NODE_RED_ENABLE_PROJECTS:
# NODE_RED_ENABLE_SAFE_MODE:
# FLOWS:
service:
port:
port: 1880
persistence:
data:
enabled: false
emptyDir: false
mountPath: /data
```
If testing locally make sure you update the dependencies with:
```bash
helm dependency update
```
