[UI] Helm chart feature request: Watch multi namespaces and parameterize teams

[caiconkhicon]

Please, answer some short questions which should help us to understand your problem / question better?

• Which image of the operator are you using? registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator-ui:v1.6.1
• Where do you run it - cloud or metal? Kubernetes or OpenShift? Bare Metal K8s
• Are you running Postgres Operator in production? yes
• Type of issue? Feature request

I want to use Helm to deploy postgres-operator-ui (https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/blob/master/charts/postgres-operator-ui). However, it lacks of two features:

• Multi namespaces: my databases are deployed in many namespaces. ~With the current Helm chart, it is possible to watch one namespace only~. It is possible to watch all namespaces with targetNamespace: *. Please create a documentation for the postgres-operator-ui Helm chart to mention this.
• Parameterize team names: Team names are specified as a list. However, it is fixed with one item named acid. I have tested changing it manually and it worked. So please implement it. (https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/blob/master/charts/postgres-operator-ui/templates/deployment.yaml#L54-L58)

I created https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/pull/1375 to add the TEAMS feature

@caiconkhicon you can watch all namespaces by setting it to: targetNamespace: "*"

i found that out by trial-error, since i also did not find it in the documentation

@yfoelling fyi we have a reference doc for all config options where this is explained as well as in our admin docs.

[caiconkhicon]

@FxKu : I don't think that it's exactly correct. The documentation is for postgres-operator, not for the UI. The mentioned parameter is also watched_namespace, not targetNamespace for the UI.

[FxKu]

ah yes, true for UI there's not much documentation. But yes, it works with targetNamespace: "*" indeed. Not sure, if this should be the default.

[caiconkhicon]

I agree that it should not be * per default. However, it should be configurable. I will update the issue description to reflex that we need a doc for the UI about that targetNamespace.

the targetNamespace kept me from using this for weeks. Thankfully I knew this had to be a thing and found this issue. PLEASE add this parameter to the documentation.
