I’m currently setting up my homelab using k3s and helm. Normally I use the official charts from the projects themselves, but I’m a bit lost when trying to install software that don’t have official helm charts. Are there any searchable trusted resources for helm charts?

    Sometimes people build their own helm charts on GitHub, but not sure if that will qualify for “trusted”.

    You can make your own, if a project has an official docker image, it’ll just be a matter of writing a deployment.yaml with that image, a service.yaml for the deployment and possibly a pvc.yaml just to give it some persistence storage. Its what I do if a project doesn’t have an official helm chart.

    I’ve had luck exploring the upstream’s source repositories. Often, ‘official’ charts are in the repos, but not pushed anywhere. Also, if you aren’t averse to Bitnami, they’ve quite a large collection of charts and applications which receive care and maintenance.

      Good suggestion. I am a bit averse to bitnami unfortunately but it might beat writing all the charts myself.

        I think bitnami also doesn’t (didn’t?) produce ARM images, and since they use their own images, basically there are tons of changes to do to the chart if you are running on ARM.

      Good suggestion, but I find it hard to find the source of those charts (might be a mobile thing though). I will be sure to check it out more closely on my desktop.

        Sorry for replying late, on desktop there’s a sidebar that has a link to the chart source.
