I could not find anything by just googling, does Helm support private values?
So I have my chart and my values.yaml
privateProp: hello
publicProp: worldI have some values that I want to exposed to the end user of my chart and others that I do not want, however those "private" values are being used in many places.
For example: publicProps is overridable by the user of the chart, but I would like to block access to privateProp, however it is reused in many places:
containers:
name: {{.Values.privateProp}}nodeSelector:
name: {{.Values.privateProp}}I saw there is {{$privateProp := "hello"}}, but it is not clear how I can access it elsewhere in my files
How can I achieve this?
Ok, I have found a solution to my problem.
You can create a file called _variables.tpl, the name does not matter
and then declare a variable:
{{- define "privateProp" -}}
{{- print "hello" -}}
{{- end -}}and then you can use it wherever you want in your chart by doing this:
spec:
containers:
- name: {{ .Values.dashboard.containers.name }}
image: {{ .Values.dashboard.containers.image.repository }}:{{ .Values.dashboard.containers.image.tag }}
imagePullPolicy: Always
ports:
- containerPort: {{ include "privateProp" . }} # <== This
