Hi everyone, Update on HELM project:-
We have added some features to the chart that includes:- * Making chart configurable with both mysql and postgres database * We are now using configmaps and secrets for storing database credentials * We use helm dependency to manage the dependencies of the chart I think our chart is ready to be deployed in the incubator section of helm community repo. <https://github.com/helm/charts> If you guys agree I would make the necessary changes required to deploy it there.
