Baserow Helm Repository

This repository contains Helm charts for deploying Baserow, an open-source no-code database platform, on Kubernetes clusters.

Updating the Charts

This repository updates automatically on new Baserow releases. When triggered, the Baserow repository creates a Helm chart build and triggers the workflow in this repository. The workflow then downloads the built chart artifact and publishes it to GitHub Pages and the Artifact Hub registry.

Setting Up GitHub App

To allow the Baserow repository to trigger updates in this chart repository, you need to create a GitHub App with the appropriate permissions.
