@ -3,20 +3,46 @@ Vikunja Helm Chart
This Helm Chart deploys both the Vikunja [frontend](https://hub.docker.com/r/vikunja/frontend) and Vikunja [api](https://hub.docker.com/r/vikunja/api) containers, in addition to other Kubernetes resources so that you'll have a fully functioning Vikunja deployment quickly. Also, you can deploy Bitnami's [PostgreSQL](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/postgresql) and [Redis](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/redis) as subcharts if you want, as Vikunja can utilize them as its database and caching mechanism (respectively).
## Requirements
- Kubernetes >= 1.19
- Helm >= 3
See https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/vikunja/vikunja for version information and installation instructions.
## Quickstart
The majority of default values defined in `values.yaml` should be compatible for your deployment. Additionally, if you utilize an Ingress for both the API and Frontend, you will be able to access the frontend out of the box. However, it won't have any default credentials. So, you'll need to create an account using the registration button.
Define ingress settings according to your controller (for both API and Frontend) to access the application.
You can set all Vikunja API options as yaml under `api.configMaps.config.data.config.yml`: https://vikunja.io/docs/config-options
That should be it!
For example, you can disable registration (if you do not with to allow others to register on your Vikunja), by providing the following values in your `values.yaml`:
```yaml
api:
configMaps:
config:
enabled: true
data:
config.yml:
service:
enableregistration: false
```
You can still create new users by executing the following command in the `api` container:
```bash
./vikunja user create --email <user@email.com> --user <user1> --password <password123>
```
## Advanced Features
### Replicas
To effectively run multiple replicas of the API,
make sure to set up the redis cache as well
by setting `api.configMaps.config.data.config.yml.keyvalue.type` to `redis`,
configuring the redis subchart (see [values.yaml](./values.yaml#L119))
and the connection [in Vikunja](https://vikunja.io/docs/config-options/#redis)
### Use an existing file volume claim
In the `values.yaml` file, you can either define your own existing Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) or have the chart create one on your behalf.

### Utilizing environment variables from Kubernetes secrets
Each environment variable that is "injected" into a pod can be sourced from a Kubernetes secret. This is useful when you wish to add values that you would rather keep as secrets in your GitOps repo, as environment variables in the pods.

Assuming that you had a Kubernetes secret named `vikunja-env`, this is how you would add the value stored at key `VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD` as the environment variable named `VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD`:

### Modifying Deployed Resources
Often times, modifications need to be made to a Helm chart to allow it to operate in your Kubernetes cluster. By utilizing bjw-s's `common` library, there are quite a few options that can be easily modified.

### Another Example of Modifying `config.yml` (Enabling Registration)
You can disable registration (if you do not with to allow others to register on your Vikunja), by providing the following values in your `values.yaml`:
```yaml
api:
configMaps:
config:
enabled: true
data:
config.yml:

If you need to create another user, you could opt to execute the following command on the `api` container:
```bash
./vikunja user create --email <user@email.com> --user <user1> --password <password123>
```
## Publishing
The following steps are automatically performed when a git tag for a new version is pushed to the repository.
