Deprecation of this Repo

[onedr0p]

Hi everyone, just sending out an announcement to notify you of the deprecation of the charts repository.

Over careful debate with some community members, @bjw-s (Bernd) and I have decided to deprecate the charts repository. While this won’t be a popular decision we’re sure, what we started years ago was a great learning experience but has been a growing amount of effort to maintain in our free time. The unfortunate fact is we do not see much help from the community on issues or fixing problems in application helm charts and that leaves the burden on a few maintainers to help out. To those that were helping we greatly appreciate all the effort you’ve done.

What's next then?

The charts repo is not going away but we are no longer going to be accepting PRs or triaging issues. We will continue to develop and support the library chart but at a new home [1].  If you are currently maintaining a helm chart in k8s-at-home, we advise you to create a new repo under your own GitHub Org/User and maintain and release the Helm chart on your own. You can continue to use the library chart and help us improve it if interested.

For standard apps (e.g. contains an ingress, service, persistence, config) we suggest you check out the docs [2] to see how the app-template chart can be used to create any application.

This is not the end of k8s-at-home, other projects in the Org will remain for now. A GitHub org or Discord community doesn't define k8s-at-home. You and everyone else running Kubernetes in their homelabs do!
