## Introduction

nxs-universal-chart is a Helm chart you can use to install any of your applications into Kubernetes/OpenShift and other orchestrators compatible with native Kubernetes API.

The chart renders through the shared `nuc-common` library chart. `Chart.yaml` points at the published dependency, and local workflows resolve it with `make deps` or `bash scripts/helm-deps.sh .`.

### Features

* Flexible way to deploy your applications.
* Supported any Ingress controllers (Ingress Nginx, Traefik, Istio).
* Easy way to template any custom resource with extraDeploy feature.
* Supported Kubernetes versions (1.23 or newer) and OpenShift versions (3.11/<4.8/4.9/4.11/4.12/4.13).
* Supported Helm versions (2/3/4)

### Who can use this tool

* Development
* DevOps engineers

## Quick Start

Install the chart:

```bash
helm install nxs-universal-chart oci://registry.nixys.ru/nuc/nxs-universal-chart \
  --namespace app-system \
  --create-namespace
```

The command deploys your application with custom values on the Kubernetes/OpenShift cluster. For additional ways to customize your experience with nxs-universal-chart please check [Additional features](docs/ADDITIONAL_FEATURES.md).

Install the local README generator hook:

```bash
pre-commit install
pre-commit install-hooks
```

## Supported Resources

The chart can render these Kubernetes resource families:

- `Deployment`
- `StatefulSet`
- `Service`
- `Ingress`
- `ConfigMap`
- `Secret`
- `SealedSecret`
- `PersistentVolumeClaim`
- `ServiceAccount`, `Role`, `RoleBinding`, `ClusterRoleBinding`
- `Job`
- `CronJob`
- `HorizontalPodAutoscaler`
- `PodDisruptionBudget`
- raw resources through `extraDeploy`

## Dependency Subcharts

The chart also declares reusable dependency subcharts. `nuc-common` is always loaded as the shared helper library; most remaining `nuc-*` dependencies are enabled through their matching `.Values.<name>.enabled` flags. `nuc-envoy-gateway` is enabled through `global.nuc-envoy-gateway.enabled` because its subchart schema does not accept an `enabled` key under `nuc-envoy-gateway`.

## Values Model

The values contract is grouped by resource family:

- `deployments`, `statefulSets`
- `services`, `ingresses`
- `configMaps`, `secrets`, `sealedSecrets`, `pvcs`
- `jobs`, `cronJobs`, `hooks`
- `serviceAccount`
- `hpas`, `pdbs`
- `extraDeploy`

Shared controls:

- `generic.*` for common labels, annotations, selectors, pod metadata, shared mounts, templated variables, and helper capability overrides
- `envs` / `secretEnvs` for generated shared ConfigMap and Secret resources
- `defaultImage*` for container image defaults
- affinity presets and optional `generic` capability overrides

Additional keys under `generic` are available to `tpl` rendering as `.Values.generic.*`, so one shared variable set can be reused across resources without a separate `global` block.

The values contract is validated by [values.schema.json](values.schema.json).

Schema matching note:
- Field names below follow `values.schema.json` 1:1, including legacy aliases (`diagnosticMode.enbled`) and `string|map` contracts.
- Where schema has `additionalProperties: true`, extra keys are allowed and passed through to templates/helpers.
- `Default` reflects chart runtime defaults from `values.yaml`/templates; `schema default` exists only where explicitly defined in `values.schema.json`.

### Common Workload Entry Fields

These fields are shared by individual workload entries (`deployments.<name>`, `daemonSets.<name>`, `pods.<name>`, `statefulSets.<name>`, `jobs.<name>`, `cronJobs.<name>`, `hooks.<name>`) **and** their corresponding `*General` defaults objects (`deploymentsGeneral`, `cronJobsGeneral`, etc.).

Fields set on a `*General` object act as defaults for every workload in that family. A field on an individual workload entry overrides the `*General` value.

|---|---|---|---|
| `disabled` | `disabled: true` | `false` | Disables rendering of a specific entry. |

### Workload General Fields

Each `*General` object accepts all fields from [Common Workload Entry Fields](#common-workload-entry-fields) (including `resources`, `nodeSelector`, `tolerations`, `podLabels`, `imagePullSecrets`, etc.) as defaults for every workload in that family. In addition, some `*General` objects accept the extra family-specific fields listed below.

`*General` objects also accept default container environment fields: `env`, `envFrom`, `envConfigmaps`, `envSecrets`, `envsFromConfigmap`, and `envsFromSecret`. These defaults are rendered for every main container in that workload family before container-level environment entries.

Empty or `null` entries in `envConfigmaps` and `envSecrets` are ignored. If no valid entries remain, the `envFrom` block is not rendered.

#### deploymentsGeneral

#### cronJobsGeneral

All [Common Workload Entry Fields](#common-workload-entry-fields) and all [jobsGeneral](#jobsgeneral) fields plus:

| Field | Example | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `cronJobsGeneral.suspend` | `suspend: true` | Kubernetes default `false` | Default suspend flag for all CronJobs. Omitted when unset or `null`. |

  failedJobsHistoryLimit: 3
  ttlSecondsAfterFinished: 7200
  activeDeadlineSeconds: 7200
  backoffLimit: 3

    requests:
      cpu: 10m
      memory: 30Mi
    limits:

      memory: 3072Mi
  envSecrets:
    - web-monolith-secret-envs
  envConfigmaps:
    - web-monolith-envs
```

A container with its own `resources` block overrides `cronJobsGeneral.resources`. If neither the container nor `cronJobsGeneral` sets resources, `generic.resources` is used as the last resort.

A CronJob entry can override `cronJobsGeneral.suspend` or `cronJobsGeneral.singleOnly` with `false`. Setting either field to `null` on the entry suppresses the inherited value and omits the rendered field.

### Reusable Schema Contracts (Exact Definitions)

These reusable definitions are referenced across multiple value blocks and match `values.schema.json` field-for-field.

| Definition | Used By | Fields |
|---|---|---|
| `resourceGitopsConfig` | `gitops` in most resources (`services`, `ingresses`, workload entries, storage, RBAC, observability) | `commonLabels`, `commonAnnotations`, `argo.enabled`, `argo.syncWave`, `argo.syncOptions`, `argo.compareOptions`, `flux.enabled`, `flux.labels`, `flux.annotations` |
| `baseWorkload` | `deployments.<name>`, `daemonSets.<name>`, `pods.<name>`, `statefulSets.<name>`, `jobs.<name>`, `cronJobs.<name>`, `hooks.<name>` | `disabled`, `labels`, `annotations`, `podLabels`, `podAnnotations`, `extraSelectorLabels`, `gitops`, `serviceAccountName`, `automountServiceAccountToken`, `hostAliases`, `affinity`, `topologySpreadConstraints`, `priorityClassName`, `dnsPolicy`, `dnsConfig`, `restartPolicy`, `nodeSelector`, `tolerations`, `securityContext`, `imagePullSecrets`, `extraImagePullSecrets`, `terminationGracePeriodSeconds`, `resources`, `initContainers`, `containers`, `volumes`, `extraVolumes`, `usePredefinedAffinity` |
| `baseWorkloadGeneral` | `deploymentsGeneral`, `daemonSetsGeneral`, `podsGeneral`, `statefulSetsGeneral`, `jobsGeneral`, `cronJobsGeneral`, `hooksGeneral` | Same fields as `baseWorkload`, plus default container environment fields `env`, `envFrom`, `envConfigmaps`, `envSecrets`, `envsFromConfigmap`, and `envsFromSecret`. The `resources` field on a `*General` object sets the default container resources for all workloads in that family, overriding `generic.resources` but overridden by container-level `resources`. |
| `workloadContainer` | each item in `containers` and `initContainers` | `name`, `image`, `imageTag`, `imagePullPolicy`, `command`, `args`, `env`, `envFrom`, `envConfigmaps`, `envSecrets`, `envsFromConfigmap`, `envsFromSecret`, `ports`, `lifecycle`, `startupProbe`, `livenessProbe`, `readinessProbe`, `resources`, `securityContext`, `volumeMounts`, `extraVolumeMounts`, `stdin`, `tty` |
| `workloadContainerListOrMap` | `containers`, `initContainers` | `array` of `workloadContainer` or `map` of `<containerKey> -> workloadContainer`. |
| `typedVolume` / `typedVolumeList` | `*.volumes`, `generic.volumes` | `name`, `type`, `originalName`, `defaultMode`, `items`, `sources`, `sizeLimit`, `medium`; list is `array` of these objects. |

## Included Values Files

- [values.yaml](values.yaml): minimal defaults that render no resources.
- [values.yaml.example](values.yaml.example): representative example covering every supported template family.
- [tests/e2e/values/install.values.yaml](tests/e2e/values/install.values.yaml): cluster-safe installation fixture used by the local e2e runner.

## Testing

The repository uses four verification layers:

- `make lint`
- `make test-unit`
- `make test-compat`
- `make test-smoke` / `make test-smoke-fast`
- `make test-e2e`

Representative commands:

```bash
make deps
helm lint . -f values.yaml.example
make deps
helm unittest --with-subchart=false -f 'tests/units/*_test.yaml' .
sh tests/units/backward_compatibility_test.sh
python3 tests/smokes/run/smoke.py --scenario example-render
make test-e2e
```

Detailed test documentation is available in [docs/TESTS.MD](docs/TESTS.MD).

Local dependency setup instructions are available in [docs/DEPENDENCY.md](docs/DEPENDENCY.md).

## Repository Layout

| Path | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| [Chart.yaml](Chart.yaml) | Chart metadata. |
| [Chart.lock](Chart.lock) | Locked dependency metadata refreshed by `make deps` / `scripts/helm-deps.sh`. |
| [values.yaml](values.yaml) | Minimal default values and `helm-docs` source comments. |
| [values.yaml.example](values.yaml.example) | Representative example covering all template families. |
| [values.schema.json](values.schema.json) | JSON schema for chart values. |
| [templates/](templates) | Application resource templates that consume shared helpers from the `nuc-common` dependency. |
| [tests/units/](tests/units) | Helm unit suites and compatibility checks. |
| [tests/smokes/](tests/smokes) | Smoke scenarios for linting, rendering, and schema validation. |
| [tests/e2e/](tests/e2e) | kind-based end-to-end installation checks. |
| [docs/README.md.gotmpl](docs/README.md.gotmpl) | Template used by `helm-docs` to build this README. |
| [scripts/helm-docs.sh](scripts/helm-docs.sh) | Local wrapper around `helm-docs`. |

## Notes

- `SealedSecret` is a CRD-backed resource. Smoke `kubeconform` skips it by default, and e2e uses a CRD-free fixture so the local cluster flow stays lightweight.
- Shared helper behavior comes from the `nuc-common` library dependency; run `make deps` before direct `helm lint`, `helm template`, or `helm install` commands.
- Generated `ConfigMap` and `Secret` resources keep Helm hook annotations by default for backward compatibility; set `generic.hookAnnotations: null` to disable them cleanly.
- Previous umbrella-chart toggles such as `nuc-common.enabled` remain in the values contract for compatibility.
- `diagnosticMode.enbled` is still accepted for backward compatibility, but `diagnosticMode.enabled` is the supported field.

## Roadmap

Following features are already in backlog for our development team and will be done soon:

* Add a catalog of ready-to-use examples: `Deployment`, `StatefulSet`, `CronJob`, `Job`, `Ingress`, `PVC`, `HPA`, `PDB`, and `extraDeploy`.
* Expand dependency-subchart examples as new `nuc-*` integrations are added.
* Introduce a compatibility matrix and CI validation for Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Helm across multiple supported versions.
* Extend e2e and smoke scenarios with dedicated profiles for CRD-based resources and dependency subcharts.
* Tighten `values.schema.json`: add more resource-specific validation, reduce implicit contracts, and define explicit deprecation paths.
* Prepare a migration guide for legacy values and aliases: list-based contract, old umbrella toggles, and deprecated fields.
* Add a set of production recommendations: naming, selectors, probes, `securityContext`, affinity, `PDB`, `HPA`, and rollout-safe defaults.
* Improve the documentation for `generic.*` with practical scenarios for shared variables, `tpl`, labels/annotations, volumes, and capability overrides.
* Add release automation: automatic validation of README, schema, lint, unit/smoke/e2e checks, and chart publishing to the registry.
