Example​

To install with custom values:

helm install <release-name> welance-charts/directus -f values.yaml

Or using --set:

helm install <release-name> welance-charts/directus --set key=value

Default Values​

The following is the default values.yaml file for the Directus Helm chart:

# Default values for helm-chart.
