Currently I use a .Files.get function to copy the contents of the config files into a configMap of a subchart.
Parent_chart
|-Charts
| |- subchart1
| |- config file
| |- templates/
| |- Charts.yaml
|
|- subchart2
|- templates/
|- Chart.yamlNow a request has arrived to use the same config file for another sub chart.
I do not want to copy the files twice in 2 location inside subchart. Is there any way I can use a single location which can accessed by both sub charts?
One way to solve it is to create a third chart to manage the configMap and make it a dependency on your charts.
To do that the main point is to use a relative folder as a repository in your requirements.yaml of each chart you want to use the config like this:
dependencies:
- name: config
repository: file://../config
version: x.x.x
