FluxCD Basics

fluxcd is a so-called gitops tool. It allows users to define their cluster in a git repository and automatically syncs said configuration with the actual cluster

How to Configure

Configuration should be done “The Helm Way” via editing HelmRelease objects in the git repository. Values of which can be used like normal on helm.

This can be done following the Helm Guides

and checking all the many options available in our Common Library Chart
