Open Source Helm Charts

It was never Uniques idea to hide its helm charts (What is that?). Due to its scaling and growing nature and the clients demands for the more elaborate deployment models (Customer Managed and On Premise) it was time to move the charts out of Uniques mono repository code base and open source them like any state-of-the-art software does.

Head over to https://github.com/Unique-AG/helm-charts to see the charts. Note that the charts themselves did neither change their content nor their version, they were just migrated into the new repository.

You can also find them on https://artifacthub.io/packages/search?org=unique where they have some basic documentation Unique will improve on over the next quarters.

Key changes

• Clients no longer need to login to a registry in order to pull charts.

• Clients can inspect the charts easily to see values, documentation or implementation.

• The charts are available both as OCI and Helm3 artefacts.

• All chart versions can retrospectively be seen in ArtifactHub
