Helm, Is there a way to add kubernetes labels to values.yaml (without using template and _helpers.tpl)

So as in the title, I would like to add labels to my helms of my already running applications (sonarqube and jenkins from official helm charts). I don't have templates in them just values.yaml. I am afraid of adding templates, because as I said, application is already running and I just want to add few labels in metadata.

Solution

  • Both charts mentioned in comment under question has a way to define custom labels

    https://github.com/jenkinsci/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/jenkins/templates/jenkins-master-deployment.yaml#L42

        {{- range $key, $val := .Values.master.podLabels }}
    {{ $key }}: {{ $val | quote }}
    {{- end}}

    https://github.com/Oteemo/charts/blob/master/charts/sonarqube/templates/deployment.yaml#L31

    {{- with .Values.podLabels }}
{{ toYaml . | indent 8 }}
{{- end }}

    So you need something like this in values.yaml

    # Jenkins
master:
  podLabels:
    label1Name: label1Value

# Sonar
podLabels:
  label1Name: label1Value
