Introduction

OpsChain is deployed using Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes. Helm is used to deploy the OpsChain application and its dependencies to your Kubernetes cluster, under a configurable namespace.

Configuration​

The OpsChain installation is customized by modifying a values.yaml file, which is then used by Helm to deploy the OpsChain application and its dependencies to your Kubernetes cluster. This file contains all the configuration options for OpsChain and its services, including encryption keys, passwords, TLS and hostname settings, database configuration, LDAP settings and more.

Setting management

When making changes to your values.yaml file, the changes will only take effect when you deploy OpsChain. Some deployment settings can only be configured at installation time, meaning that changing them after installation will have no effect, these settings are marked as such throughout the documentation.

Settings that change the application's behaviour can be modified at any time via dedicated pages in the OpsChain GUI and endpoints in the OpsChain API.

The settings defined in this file overwrite the default values defined in the OpsChain Helm chart.

Patching

By running the installation command with a modified values.yaml file, you'll be patching OpsChain to use these new settings. Refer to the patching guide for more information.

As OpsChain receives new releases, the Helm chart might be updated to include new settings or modify the existing ones. Refer to the changelog page to see all such modifications made to the Helm chart and the OpsChain application.

Obtaining a full values.yaml from the chart​

Advanced usage

This method is recommended for advanced users who are familiar with the OpsChain Helm chart and its configuration options. If you are unsure about any configuration, we recommend removing them from the file and falling back to the default values.

Once you have logged in to Helm, you can obtain a full values.yaml file for a version of the OpsChain Helm chart by running the following command:

helm show values oci://docker.io/limepoint/opschain --version ${OPSCHAIN_CHART_VERSION} > values.yaml
