Originally created by @JoshuaC215 on GitHub (Oct 13, 2020).

Describe the feature you'd like
A new home for the BookStack helm chart which is currently hosted on helm's stable but being marked obsolete in a few weeks.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Community continues to be able to run BookStack in Kubernetes using a public helm chart.

Additional context
With helm stable and incubator being deprecated in a few weeks (see https://github.com/helm/charts/issues/21103), there won't be a canonical helm chart available any more for running eventrouter.

Anyone thinking about hosting one? I recognize that @ssddanbrown probably does not have the bandwidth, but this seems like a good place to discuss if other folks in the community are interested in it. @verwilst and @solidnerd I believe that y'all did most of the work the stable version of this chart, not sure if you might have any ideas.

Just to confirm my position, I would not want this within the official BookStack repos as I try to keep away from supporting infrastructure components outside of a few Linux LTS scripts.

Happy to leave this open for a bit though for visibility.

Is there any way to see usage at all to get an idea if it's worth someone spending their time? Can see a couple of issues here mention helm charts but have not come across it outside of that.

Hello,

I'm ok with maintaining it. How do we get started?

Kind regards,

Bart

Awesome!! Thank you Bart!! Based on the discussion here I believe there are some instructions for the best way to do it, but I don't have the link. I made a comment asking about it and tagged you, I'm hoping one of the helm/charts maintainers will respond. I may be picking up another one myself so will be trying to find them one way or another...

Dan to your question about usage, I looked around but unfortunately it seems that they don't expose any public metrics about it from the chart registry.

Since any discussions or further volunteers here have dried up, I'll close this off.

I know this thread is old and apologies for digging through it again. I was looking for a helm chart to also deploy my own personal instance of bookstack on k3s. I found that most of the existing charts are no longer maintained or missing the ability to customize. I know a lot of users may be wary of using bookstack on K8, but with pvc backups (via longhorn storageProvider) and file level backups, I have running, it is pretty stable for me and I already have built-in ways to do DR.

I've been working on a more up to date helm chart with github actions for tagged releases. This adheres to the new standards and requirements for tagged releases using github-pages:

Bookstack specific chart here
All charts https://github.com/homeylab/helm-charts

Chart includes mariadb from bitnami as an optional dependency (enabled by default) and I try to keep the image up to date and test things properly before releasing with chart-testing. Hope it helps!
