Updating the Values File

The default values.yaml file created by the helm create command under the todo-chart directory contains default values. We can leave some of them as is, but others can be updated to better reflect our application's requirements.

This file can be overridden during installation or upgrade using the -f or --values flag, but its main purpose is to provide the default configurations when no overrides are provided and to serve as documentation for the chart's configurable parameters.

Let's consider the following values.yaml file:

cat < $HOME/todo-chart/values.yaml
replicaCount: 1

image:
  repository: todo-app
  tag: "latest"
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

imagePullSecrets: []

nameOverride: ""
fullnameOverride: ""

serviceAccount:
  create: true
  automount: true
  annotations: {}
  name: ""

imageCredentials:
  create: false
  # registry: ""
  # username: ""
  # password: ""
  # secretName: ""

podAnnotations: {}
podLabels: {}

podSecurityContext: {}
  # fsGroup: 2000

securityContext: {}
  # runAsUser: 1000
  # runAsNonRoot: true
  # allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
  # capabilities:
  #   drop:
  #     - ALL

service:
  type: ClusterIP
  port: 5000

ingress:
  enabled: false
