Pixelfed helm chart

A helm chart to setup Pixelfed. Uses @mattlqx's docker image for now (built from the top of the pixelfed repo nightly, so it always has the latest version of pixelfed).

This chart is still in a testing phase and may not be fully stable yet.

Features

• includes bitnami subcharts for valkey (redis) and postgresql (database)
  • but you can also bring your own valkey, redis, or postgresql database
• helm parameter (values.yaml) docs autogenerated via helm-docs in README.md
• use existing Secrets for valkey, postgresql, and mail (smtp)
• RenovateBot keeps the subcharts and docker image up to date
• configurable liveness and readiness probes (or none at all)
• configure tolerations, affinity, nodeselectors
• use extra volumes, volumemounts, containers, initContainers

TLDR

# add the chart repo to your helm repos
helm repo add pixelfed https://small-hack.github.io/pixelfed-chart

# download the values.yaml and edit it with your own values such as YOUR hostname
helm show values pixelfed/pixelfed > values.yaml

# install the chart
helm install --namespace pixelfed --create-namespace pixelfed/pixelfed --values values.yaml
