Understand the Helm Chart

VeeCode DevPortal Helm chart can be used to install and configure our Backstage distribution and a whole set of plugins to provide a full Internal Development Portal experience.

The chart is available on ArtifactHub and is mantained in a dedicated GitHub repository.

Important sections​

A few sections are worth some deeper analysis:

  • Global settings

The host, protocol and port settings define the domain you will use to access the portal:

global:
  host: yourhost.yourdomain.com # change to your domain
  protocol: https # usually https
  port: '' # must start with ':', defaults to empty

They actually work as a convenience to define the default value for several other settings:

  • upstream.backstage.appConfig.app.baseUrl
  • upstream.backstage.appConfig.backend.baseUrl
  • upstream.backstage.appConfig.backend.cors.baseUrl
  • upstream.ingress.host
