helm-cronjobs

You can define an array of jobs in values.yaml helm will take care of creating all the CronJobs.

How to use as a starter chart

1. Find your Helm data directory, HELM_DATA_HOME

   helm env
   

2. cd to this directory, then

   mkdir starters
   cd starters
   

3. Clone this repo

4. In your cronjob project, set up your new chart with

   helm create -p helm-cronjobs your_chart_name
