Configurations

Configuration types

string

A string. While the YAML spec does not require strings to be quoted, it is highly recommended to quote strings to prevent YAML type coercion (e.g., values such as country: NO are treated as country: false by YAML).

Example:

key1: "value"

# or multi-line
key2: |
  value

number

A number.

key1: 42

# or float
key2: 3.14

boolean

A true or false. While the YAML spec also treats keywords such as “yes” and “no” as true and false, respectively, it is highly recommended to use explicit true and false as the value for maintainability.

key1: true

object

A pair of key value.

key1:
  subkey1: "string"
  subkey2: 3.14
  subkey3: true

# alternatively, using JSON syntax
key2: { "subkey1": "string", "subkey2": 3.14, "subkey3": true }

array of objects

An array of objects.

key1:
  - name: "value1"
    subkey: "value"
  - name: "value2"
    subkey: "value"

array of strings

An array of strings.

key1:
  - "string1"
  - "string2"
  - "string3"

# alternatively, using JSON syntax
key1: ["string1", "string2", "string3"]

template string

A pair of key value as a string. Template functions exposed by Helm are available in this type.

key1: |
  subkey1: {{ .Release.Name | quote }}
  subkey2: "hello, world"

# in array of objects
key2: |
  - name: {{ .Release.Name | quote }}
    subkey1: "hello, world"

Chart configurations

nameOverride

  • Type: string

Overrides the name of the chart (without the release name). For example, setting nameOverride to “hello” would produce a deployment named “release-name-hello”. Containers within a pod derive their name from this setting. By default, the name of the chart is used (i.e., “varnish-enterprise”)

fullnameOverride

  • Type: string

Overrides the full name of the chart (with the release name). This setting allows overriding both release name and a deployment name altogether. For example, setting fullnameOverride to “hello” would produce a deployment named “hello”. By default, a composition of a Helm release name and the name of the chart is used (i.e., “release-name-varnish-enterprise”).

Global configurations

global.imagePullSecrets

  • Type: array of object

This securityContext will be set on all Pods within this chart. For setting securityContext on all containers, see global.securityContext.

global.securityContext

  • Type: object

An object that conforms to the Kubernetes securityContext definition of a Container

For example:

global:
  securityContext:
    runAsUser: 999
    runAsNonRoot: true

      httpHeaders:
        - name: X-Health-Check
          value: k8s

Varnish Helm Chart doesn’t provide a default health check endpoint, so it is necessary to configure Varnish to return 200 OK for this endpoint via a VCL. For example:

server:
  vclConfig: |
    vcl 4.1

    backend default {
      .host = "www.example.com";
      .port = "80";
    }
