Helm based deployment

[alexku7]

Hello

Any chance to see a helm based deployment package?

We have many but relatively small clusters. Installing the OLM operator in order to install the node-healthcheck-operator is "kind of" overhead and resource wasting.

Helm installation package could be very useful.

Hi @alexku7, thanks for reaching out.

We lately had a similar discussion on our [email protected] , so feel free to check it out for more context.
I'm taking the liberty of quoting @slintes replay, which I think also applies here:

that's correct, all our operators are built with operator-sdk and depend on OLM for deployment.
Currently we don't plan or have the resources to add, maintain and test Helm support.

In this issue are some suggestions on how generate a helm chart for operator-sdk based projects: operator-framework/operator-sdk#4930 (comment)
The last comment points to the "helmify" project, which looks promising IMHO: https://github.com/arttor/helmify?tab=readme-ov-file#integrate-to-your-operator-sdkkubebuilder-project
Maybe you can give that one a try? Please let us know if that works, so we can add it to our docs at least.
