Make a doc about alternative install instructions #333

Closed petewall closed 5 months ago

petewall commented 8 months ago

If users can't or don't want to use Helm to install the chart, how can they do things? We should make a doc about some alternatives

  1. Use Helm template
  2. Use ArgoCD

Are you going to explain them all? helmfile, fluxcd, etc, etc

There's value in being opinionated. You build and test this and ensure it works and is reliable. Documenting every other way to avoid using helm is expensive, and prone to having unexpected failures unless you build a massive testing matrix for all possibilities.

Just focus on making this method strong, well tested, and reliable. Feel so confident with this tool that you don't just toss it out and replace it again next year.

Valid points. The focus on this doc would not be to cover the breadth of all install options, but to provide guidance around the most popular methods. It'd be a doc where we can also document known issues or requirements found by users who are installing in a certain manner.

Closing. This has been idle for a long time and most experienced operators will know how to adapt helm charts to their own deployment strategies.
