Helmchart Maintenance

[schmichri]

Hi @danny-avila,

first of all I really appreciate the great work you are doing.

We have tried to use your helmchart implementation and it did lack several features and had some issues. For example creating own CREDS_*, and JWT_* credentials in a dedicated k8s secret doesn't overwrite the CREDS_*, and JWT_* which set in the default values.yaml. Resulting that every installation is using the same CREDS_*, and JWT_* if the creds are not overwritten in the custom values.yaml resulting that it's not stored in a k8s secret.

In addition Librechat on Kubernetes would require at least for us the capability to run docker based MCP Servers (with docker run ...). This requires docker socket mounting, fs permission and docker-cli installed in the docker image.
Even better would be to run k8s pods which again did require RBAC and serviceaccount.

And the helmchart is currently (at least what I have seen) not in any helm repository.

So we came along to setup a modified version of librechat kubernetes helm chart for our purposes. Please feel free to have a look at it.

Hence we see you maintain most of the project yourself we were wondering if you would be willing to give up the helm chart and link the iunera librechat kubernetes chart instead. If not we would keep our chart for our purposes and set the repo to private again. I don't want any competition here.

If you are interested in that and want to reach out for a quick chat just ping me here or drop me an email to chris at iunera.com

Again we really appreciate the impressive work and the delivery of a great tool with librechat to the community.

Best
Chris

I made a PR for helm chart changes and haven't had any comments or review. Happy to make changes, as I think it needs a rebase

[danny-avila]

Hi @clayrosenthal thanks for that.

Best place to reach me via instant message is on the discord, in case you need to me to run workflows

[schmichri]

Yes Danny, I expected you to accept PRs but I have doubt this would be feasible. I would need to change your GH Actions, the Website and modify the Dockerfile / *-image or add a second variant. Personally I have bad experience of gatekept PRs. You might wana have a look to my modifications again.
What we could do would be a second repo dedicate for the helmchart with your ownership.

[danny-avila]

Nothing being gatekept here. I’m happy to coordinate as needed. A second repo sounds good mainly to keep it separated, and avoid conflicts with other workflows.
