I create a helm chart with helm create
command for Helm v3 and it creates for me standart template.Because of I am new to using Helm, I have some confusion to use selector and labels.
So how should use the labels between the deployment.yaml and services.yaml?
Use include-road-dashboard.labels
command already do the same thing as below or I need to specify the labels separate like as below command. My question is same as well for {{ include "road-dashboard.selectorLabels" . }}
command.
Updated Template
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: {{ include "road-dashboard.fullname" . }}
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: {{ include "road-dashboard.name" . }}
helm.sh/chart: {{ include "road-dashboard.chart" . }}
app.kubernetes.io/instance: {{ .Release.Name }}
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: {{ .Release.Service }}
Helm Standart Template
deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: {{ include "road-dashboard.fullname" . }}
labels:
{{- include "road-dashboard.labels" . | nindent 4 }}
spec:
replicas: {{ .Values.replicaCount }}
selector:
matchLabels:
{{- include "road-dashboard.selectorLabels" . | nindent 6 }}
template:
metadata:
labels:
{{- include "road-dashboard.selectorLabels" . | nindent 8 }}
spec:
service.yaml
apiVersion: v1

targetPort: http
protocol: TCP

selector:
{{- include "road-dashboard.selectorLabels" . | nindent 4 }}
-helpers.tpl
{{/*
Common labels
*/}}
{{- define "road-dashboard.labels" -}}
helm.sh/chart: {{ include "road-dashboard.chart" . }}
{{ include "road-dashboard.selectorLabels" . }}
{{- if .Chart.AppVersion }}
app.kubernetes.io/version: {{ .Chart.AppVersion | quote }}
{{- end }}
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: {{ .Release.Service }}
{{- end -}}
{{/*
Selector labels
*/}}
{{- define "road-dashboard.selectorLabels" -}}
app.kubernetes.io/name: {{ include "road-dashboard.name" . }}
app.kubernetes.io/instance: {{ .Release.Name }}
{{- end -}}
You continue using the ones you created in the helpers.tpl
and use the Deployment/service/any resource or you use the one you posted in the beginning.
just a comment in your helpers.tpl
in the define "road-dashboard.labels"
is missing the app.kubernetes.io/name
and app.kubernetes.io/instance
you should add there as well otherwise the selector will not work
