Installation

Add the Helm Repository

# Add the GripDay Helm repository
helm repo add gripday https://github.com/GripDay/helm-charts
helm repo update

### Install a Chart

```shell script
# Install Dashboard UI with default values
helm install gripday-ui gripday/gripday-ui

# Install with custom values file
helm install gripday-ui gripday/gripday-ui -f custom-values.yaml

# Install for Staging environment
helm install gripday-ui gripday/gripday-ui -f services/gripday-ui/staging-values.yaml

Configuration

Each chart comes with sensible defaults, but you can customize the deployment by:

1. Using custom values files: Create your own values.yaml file with your specific configuration
2. Setting individual values: Use --set flag to override specific values
3. Environment-specific configs: Use provided environment files like staging-values.yaml

Example:

helm install gripday-ui gripday/gripday-ui \
  --set image.tag=v1.2.3 \
  --set service.type=LoadBalancer \
  --set ingress.enabled=true
