Install Flex with Helm

After configuring your cluster, ingress, and database, you're ready to install Flex.

Complete override.yaml Example

Here's a complete override.yaml combining Gateway API and MySQL:

global:
  lbIp: ""  # Add your LoadBalancer IP
  fqdn: demoexample.gluu.org  # Your domain
  isFqdnRegistered: true
  gateway-api:
    enabled: true
  nginx-ingress:
    enabled: false
gateway-api:
  gateway:
    className: nginx # Match your controller (nginx, istio, etc.)
    name: gluu-gateway
    httpPort: 80
    httpsPort: 443
    attachLbIp: false # Set the value to true if loadbalancer didn't assign IP address to the gateway automatically
config:
  configmap:
    cnSqlDbName: gluu
    cnSqlDbPort: 3306
    cnSqlDbDialect: mysql
    cnSqlDbHost: mysql.gluu.svc
    cnSqlDbUser: root # Use a dedicated user in production
    cnSqlDbTimezone: UTC
    cnSqldbUserPassword: Test1234# # Change for production!
