[0xReLogic]

Description

Create a Helm chart for deploying Helios on Kubernetes with best practices and production-ready configurations.

Requirements

• Helm chart structure in helm/helios/ directory
• ConfigMap for helios.yaml configuration
• Deployment with health checks and resource limits
• Service for load balancer exposure
• Ingress support (optional)
• HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) template

Chart Structure

helm/helios/
├── Chart.yaml
├── values.yaml
├── templates/
│   ├── deployment.yaml
│   ├── service.yaml
│   ├── configmap.yaml
│   ├── ingress.yaml

values.yaml Example

replicaCount: 3

image:
  repository: helios
  tag: latest
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 1000m
    memory: 512Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 128Mi

autoscaling:
  enabled: true
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 10
  targetCPUUtilizationPercentage: 80

ingress:
  enabled: true
  className: nginx
  hosts:
    - host: helios.example.com
      paths:
        - path: /
          pathType: Prefix

Acceptance Criteria

• Complete Helm chart with all templates
• values.yaml with sensible defaults
• Chart documentation (README.md)
• Deployment guide in main README
• Tested on local Kubernetes cluster

@0xReLogic can you assign me

Hi @Chesblaw, thanks for your interest in contributing to Helios.

I've assigned this issue to you. Feel free to start working on the Helm chart.

If you have any questions about the requirements or need clarification on the chart structure, please let me know.

Looking forward to your contribution.

Hi @Chesblaw,

Quick update: Issue #27 (Dockerfile) is also being worked on. Since the Helm chart will reference the Docker image, I recommend:

1. Coordinate with the Docker PR (Create Dockerfile and Docker Compose example #27) to understand the image structure
2. You can start with the Helm chart templates and values.yaml structure first
3. Wait for the Dockerfile to be merged before finalizing the image references

Alternatively, you can create a placeholder Dockerfile locally for development, then update it once #27 is merged.

Let me know if you need any clarification!

@0xReLogic Done! When the Dockerfile is ready, I will open PR
