## TL;DR;

```console
helm repo add christianhuth https://charts.christianhuth.de
helm repo update
helm install my-release christianhuth/node-access
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps one or multiple Pods to access the host system of a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.19+

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
helm repo add christianhuth https://charts.christianhuth.de
helm repo update
helm install my-release christianhuth/node-access
```

These commands deploys one or multiple Pods to access the host system of the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Values](#values) section lists the values that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall the `my-release` deployment:

```console
helm uninstall my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

{{ template "chart.valuesSection" . }}

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
helm install my-release -f values.yaml christianhuth/node-access
```

## Deploying to a specific Node

If you want to deploy only to one specific Node you can simply define the `nodeName` using `--set nodeAccess.nodePlacement.nodeName=<NODE_NAME>` or through the values file:

```yaml
nodeAccess:
  accessMode: deployment
  nodePlacement:
    nodeName: <NODE_NAME>
```

## Deploying to all Nodes

If you want to deploy Pods to access all Nodes, the easiest way is to use a DaemonSet instead of a Deployment using `--set nodeAccess.accessMode="daemonset"` or through the values file:

```yaml
nodeAccess:
  accessMode: daemonset
```

## Deploying to a subset of Nodes

If you want to deploy Pods to a subset of Nodes you can use a DaemonSet and a NodeSelector:

```yaml
nodeAccess:
  accessMode: daemonset
  nodePlacement:
    nodeSelector:
      key: value
```
