I use helm to deploy a micro-service stack. The frontend that is being deployed can be modified using some configuration files and static resources (for example some logo and so on).
I would like to create several helm-charts where I use the same frontend chart as dependency (in requirements.yaml) but just feed it some slightly different static files. The frontend is built so that it uses default configs/resources if none are placed in its "/usr/share/nginx/htlm/static" folder.
I've done this earlier using docker compose, where it would just be something like:
version: "3.3"
configs:
app-config:
file: ./static/ui/app-config.js
bg:
file: ./static/ui/bg.jpg
services:
ui:
...
configs:
- source: app-config
target: ./usr/share/nginx/html/static/app-config.js
- source: bg
target: ./usr/share/nginx/html/static/bg.jpg
...
We are now moving to k8s / helm and I'd like to know how can I achieve something similar.
I only need to supply the configuration files when deploying, there's no need for altering them between deployment times.
Appreciate any input / suggestions on how to do this. :)
