Planka already provides a Helm chart for Kubernetes deployments, but it is not yet published on Artifact Hub, the central index for Helm charts and Kubernetes packages.
Publishing it there would make the chart easier to discover, improve trust and update workflows, and automatically generate documentation (README, values.yaml, maintainers, changelog, etc.).

Proposed solution:

  • Register an official Planka Helm repository on Artifact Hub.

  • Include metadata into Chart.yaml such as:

    • Maintainers and project links
    • Chart version and app version
    • Source URL and license
    • Display categories (e.g., “Project Management”, “Collaboration”)
  • (optional): Provide artifacthub-repo.yaml file for verified ownership etc.

Benefits:

  • Increases visibility for Kubernetes users.
  • Enables one-click installs in Helm UIs and operators that integrate with Artifact Hub.
  • Keeps documentation synchronized automatically.
  • Supports semantic versioning and verified provenance workflows.
