This Helm chart deploys the Postiz application on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.
The Postiz helm chart registry uses the OCI format, not HTTP, which means you do not need to do a helm repo add
to install the chart. You can install the chart directly from the GitHub repository.
To install the chart with the release name postiz-app
:
$ helm install postiz oci://ghcr.io/gitroomhq/postiz-helmchart/charts/postiz-app
The command deploys Postiz on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The Parameters section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
Tip: List all releases using
helm list
To uninstall/delete the postiz
deployment:
$ helm delete postiz-app
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Postiz chart and their default values.

extraVolumes |

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value]
argument to helm install
. For example,
$ helm install postiz-app \
--set postgresql.auth.password=secretpassword \
postiz/postiz
The above command sets the PostgreSQL password to secretpassword
.
Alternatively, you can use a YAML file to specify the values while installing the chart. Create a file called custom-values.yaml
(or any name you prefer) and specify your values:
postgresql:
auth:
password: secretpassword
ingress:
enabled: true
hosts:
- host: postiz.example.com
Then, you can install the chart using the -f
flag:
$ helm install postiz-app -f custom-values.yaml postiz/postiz
Tip: You can use the default values.yaml as a starting point for your custom configuration.
The chart mounts a Persistent Volume for the PostgreSQL and Redis data. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning. If you want to disable this functionality you can change the values.yaml to disable persistence and use an emptyDir instead.
You may want to have Postiz connect to an external database rather than installing one inside your cluster. Typical reasons for this are to use a managed database service, or to share a common database server for all your applications. To achieve this, set the postgresql.enabled
parameter to false
and specify the credentials for the external database using the postgresql.auth.username
, postgresql.auth.password
, and postgresql.auth.database
parameters.
Similar to the database, you can use an external Redis instance by setting redis.enabled
to false
and specifying the external Redis URL using the REDIS_URL
environment variable in the env
section of your values.yaml.
This is the first major release of the Postiz Helm chart.
