A Cockpit Helm chart for Kubernetes

Cockpit is a headless CMS with an API-first approach that puts content first. It is designed to simplify the process of publication by separating content management from content consumption on the client side.

Cockpit is focusing just on the back-end work to manage content. Rather than worry about delivery of content through pages, its goal is to provide structured content across different channels via a simple API.

Key features:

• Manage flexible content models. There are no pre-defined content models. Define the content model yourself.
• Uncluttered UI. Cockpit offers you a modern and simple user interface.
• One system, consume it the way you want. Receive your content via a simple API.

The Advantages Of Going Headless

• No presentation limitations – build the best design ever.
• Content for multiple channels – create content once, consume anywhere.
• Highly scalable content – for all your devices and microsites.
• Minimum training required – get started, immediately.
• Easy integrations – connect with everything.

Temporary instructions:

# pull the chart
git clone https://github.com/beasteers/cockpit.git
git checkout k8s-helm

# overwrite with custom values (optional)
cp ./cockpit/charts/cockpit/values.yml ./cockpit.values.yml

helm install cockpit ./cockpit/charts/cockpit -f ./cockpit.values.yml

Eventually, we should have something like helm repo add cockpit.github.io/helm

helm uninstall cockpit

• Add collection installation (either CRD or in values.yml)
• Add form installation
• Add singleton installation
• Add webhook installation I don't know if I really want to get into the complications of having to do this in a CRD, so the easiest thing to do would be to have this in values.yml:

collections:
  somecollectionname:
    data:
      fields:
        - ...

do that for each asset type and write each to their own config map.

Then in the initContainer count the configmap, loop thru the files and post them to cockpit. maybe check that they already exist so you don't overwrite manual changes.
