TrueCharts Has Its Own Website Again
Today is a bit of a homecoming: TrueCharts has its own dedicated website again.
For the past while, our docs and news lived alongside other TrueForge projects on the main TrueForge site. That setup served us during a transitional period, but TrueCharts has always been big enough — and opinionated enough — to deserve its own space.
What This Means
Section titled “What This Means”- All TrueCharts documentation, news, and chart-related guides live on the dedicated TrueCharts site again.
- The site is still maintained under the TrueForge umbrella, with TrueForge handling hosting, CI/CD, infrastructure, and community support.
- News and announcements specific to TrueCharts will be posted here from now on.
ClusterTool Is Back — And It Is AGPL
Section titled “ClusterTool Is Back — And It Is AGPL”The other big news for TrueCharts users: ClusterTool is once again its own dedicated project.
Cluster management used to live inside ForgeTool. With ForgeTool v4.0.0, that has been split out:
- ClusterTool — focused entirely on cluster management for TrueCharts and self-hosted Kubernetes (Talos, Helm, OCI workflows).
- ForgeTool — focused on internal TrueForge development and CI/CD tooling.
As part of this split, ClusterTool is now licensed under AGPL instead of BSL. This better matches what ClusterTool actually is: a tool meant to be used, modified, and improved by the community that runs on it.
If you were using ForgeTool to manage your TrueCharts cluster, your path forward is ClusterTool.
Alfi Takes Over ClusterTool and TrueCharts Development
Section titled “Alfi Takes Over ClusterTool and TrueCharts Development”Alongside the split, Alfi is taking over development of both ClusterTool and TrueCharts going forward. Both projects stay under the TrueForge umbrella — with TrueForge handling shared infrastructure, release engineering, and documentation pipelines — but day-to-day development now has a clear, dedicated lead.
For TrueCharts users, that means:
- More predictable releases.
- Better-aligned tooling between charts and the cluster tool you use to deploy them.
- A more focused TrueCharts site, with TrueForge handling the heavy lifting underneath.
What’s Next
Section titled “What’s Next”- New chart updates and release notes will land here on the TrueCharts site.
- ClusterTool will get its own focused documentation, tightly integrated with TrueCharts workflows.
- TrueCharts and ContainerForge continue to evolve together, with ContainerForge providing a consistent, opinionated base for the images our charts depend on.
Welcome back to a TrueCharts site that is, once again, just about TrueCharts.
