Upstream: the Catalog fetched chart nginx from the Helm repository https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami at version 24.0.2. find this chart on Artifact Hub · Helm documentation. This page adds checked configurations and test results.
The pinned upstream source download for this component returned HTTP 403 when measured on 2026-08-08. The retained packages and publications recorded here stay pullable from this catalog's registry. Recorded successors: cloudpirates/nginx (plain chart; Plain chart with a digest-pinned image.). These are recommendations to evaluate, not automatic replacements.

Inspecting a source, producing objects, checking a destination, and checking a live result are different jobs. A Catalog match is useful for comparison but is not required. A missing destination or deployment is shown as not run or blocked, not as a failed configuration.
Question
Current answer
What it needs
Status
What do I have?
Inspect the helm source, choices, locks, and any existing output before selecting a destination.
Destination access: no Selected configuration deployed: no
Available to inspect evidence recorded
What will it produce?
Run the recorded Helm render step to produce the exact Kubernetes objects for this configuration.
Destination access: no Selected configuration deployed: no
Checked: passed evidence recorded
Can this destination accept it?
No destination answer is available yet because target facts or lifecycle handling are incomplete.
Destination access: yes Selected configuration deployed: no
Answer pending evidence pending
Did it work?
A recorded delivery path reached its checked live result for this exact configuration.
None in the catalog base. Later edits appear in ConfigHub Unit revision history or a derived variant.
No separate work is recorded; read the prerequisite and lifecycle status before assuming none is needed.
Upgrade rule: if a new Helm render and a ConfigHub revision both change the same field, review the overlap before promotion. The values profile shows the Helm side; Unit revision history shows the ConfigHub side.
Shipping a chart as plain rendered YAML is faster and simpler, and it silently drops anything Helm was going to do afterwards. This section reports what a scan of the packaged chart found, across 47 files.
Construct
Found
Why it matters when a chart ships as plain YAML
Cluster lookups
5
The chart reads the cluster while rendering, so a render without one is valid but wrong.
Capability branching
5
The chart chooses apiVersions from the cluster it renders against.
Generated credentials
11
Every render mints new values, and a shared artifact would freeze one draw.
A flattening-safety verdict has decided this version: default:unsafe-to-flatten; existing-tls-ingress:unsafe-to-flatten; http-clusterip:unsafe-to-flatten. The verdict records one disposition per construct and names any companion artifact a flattened bundle must ship. What the flattening verdict means.
A construct being present does not make a chart unflattenable. Most are switched on or off by values, and a verdict records which ones the base you choose actually reaches. Read the catalog-wide evidence for how common each one is.
What The Starting Configuration Records
A base variant is a starting configuration we have already rendered and checked. Pick the one whose trade-off you want; the table below shows what each one changes. How the values for each are chosen.
The http-clusterip base-variant record connects those Helm inputs to the Kubernetes objects, remaining requirements, hooks, CRDs, checks, and OCI status. Open it when you need the complete starting record rather than only the rendered YAML.
Open the full rendered YAML to read the actual manifest output. The render record and setup section explain the inputs, tests, CRDs, hooks, and other work around it.
If new Helm values create a useful starting configuration, record another base variant with its own inputs and checks. If one environment changes a field after rendering, record that change in a ConfigHub variant.
The exact installer package for this chart version. The version tag is readable, and the manifest digest makes a published pull immutable. Public catalog package refs are published in Google Artifact Registry with anonymous read access. No ConfigHub account or Google registry login is needed for the local setup path.
Required before apply
None recorded for the recommended base variant. No separate setup command recorded.
External resources the recommended base variant expects, such as an existing Secret, namespace, CRD, or target fact.
Instructions and decisions for hooks, CRDs, generated Secrets, setup jobs, cluster requirements, or blockers.
Choose base variant
Pick the supported Helm configuration for this chart: default, no-CRDs, existing Secret, HA, server-only, or another listed option.
Record inputs
Keep the values, namespace, release name, source lock, http-clusterip render intent, full YAML output, package base, test results, and setup instructions together.
Handle chart extras
CRDs, hooks, setup jobs, external Secrets, target facts, and webhook certificates are recorded as chart-specific choices. Some are included in a base variant, some need a setup step, and some are blocked until there is a safe path.
Start with http-clusterip. If a card says review or preparation is needed, treat that as a real limit rather than a ready install.

Verify the package publisher
Run this command with cosign. It checks the expected publisher, the exact manifest digest, and the package annotations.
A valid signature identifies who signed these package bytes. It does not show that the configuration is suitable for your cluster; use this page's checks and setup instructions for that decision.
Public catalog package refs are published in Google Artifact Registry with anonymous read access. No ConfigHub account or Google registry login is needed for the local setup path.
Run the whole sequence as one script, prerequisites included: try.sh renders and applies to Kubernetes without an account; confighub.sh renders and uploads to your ConfigHub Space.
Before you run try.sh: it changes your current kubectl context. It runs the named prerequisites and applies the rendered objects. Read it first and use a disposable test cluster. confighub.sh does not apply anything to Kubernetes.
This preset is also shown in the live helm-catalog demo org. Read the demo README to see why that Space exists, what problem it demonstrates, and what to inspect first.
You should see something like this
Here is what the command does. cub installer is an open-source plugin for the cub CLI. cub installer setup pulls a catalog package and writes its Kubernetes files locally, leaving delivery to kubectl, Argo CD or Flux. The generated scripts stop before doing any work when the plugin or kustomize is missing.

Every Catalog entry page carries these five steps in this order. Each step says what the Catalog has run for this entry, and a step with a missing precondition gives no command.
Steps 1 and 2 need no account. Install the cub CLI before any cub command. Step 2 uses cub config diff, which cub plugin install confighub/cub-workshop@v0.6.61 adds. This page covers 3 entries, so open the one you want. A live walk on 2026-10-08 ran steps 3 to 5 for bitnami-nginx-24-0-2-http-clusterip and nvidia-gpu-operator-v26-3-3-default. These commands carry the changes that walk needed. It is a dated log and no receipt, so no state on this page rests on it.

Yours to supply or check. The listing records no input for the destination. The Catalog has not ruled one out for your cluster.
This entry's plan, and how to test it
The record lists no plan step for this entry.
Test the install steps yourself.This script carries them out with kubectl on a cluster you choose, with no account. Read it first and use a throwaway cluster. The Catalog has no recorded run of this script.
The Catalog rendered this entry and retains its 5 objects in one file.
An upload can create more Units than the objects counted here. The installer renders a Namespace, and the upload adds an installer-record Unit.
# fetch the retained objects for this entry$ curl -fsSL -o bitnami-nginx-24-0-2-http-clusterip.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confighub/helm-expt/main/recipes/bitnami/nginx/24.0.2/revisions/http-clusterip/r001/rendered/release-objects.yaml

2. Compare with another version or base Not run for this entry
The listing records no comparison for this entry. The commands run on the retained files, with no account. This version has one other base in the Catalog, existing-tls-ingress. The Catalog holds 2 other versions, 24.0.4 and 25.0.0.
# fetch the existing-tls-ingress base of the same version$ curl -fsSL -o bitnami-nginx-24-0-2-existing-tls-ingress.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confighub/helm-expt/main/recipes/bitnami/nginx/24.0.2/revisions/existing-tls-ingress/r001/rendered/release-objects.yaml
# list what differs between the two bases$ cub config diff bitnami-nginx-24-0-2-http-clusterip.yaml bitnami-nginx-24-0-2-existing-tls-ingress.yaml --summary

Replace each value in angle brackets with a name of your own. The entry id may already exist as a Space in your organization, and the package name as a Component.
In the live walk, a Space named for the nginx entry's id and a Component named bitnami-nginx already existed, so the walk chose its own names. The --component flag sets the Component label the upload writes on the Space, which is the package name when you omit it.
The cub installer plugin reads your organization from CUB_CONTEXT and ignores --context. If you use a context other than your default, export CUB_CONTEXT first, or the plugin works in your default organization.
# sign in; steps 3 to 5 write to your ConfigHub organization$ cub auth login
# upload step 1's directory as a Space of Units, under names you choose$ cub installer upload --work-dir ./bitnami-nginx-24-0-2-http-clusterip --space <your-space> --component <your-component>
# list the Units the upload created$ cub unit list --space <your-space>
4. Deploy it Partly run for this entry
A delivery run passed for this entry, but it ran other commands than the ones below. It uploaded with the Target in the upload command, set the Space's release Target and published the Release. The commands below have no recorded run for this entry. Argo CD passed, Flux passed, and kubectl passed. The commands name the Target workshop/target, which cub cluster up --name workshop creates on a local kind cluster with Argo CD. Use your own Target for a real destination. The coverage lanes record a local Kubernetes run and a GitOps OCI run for this base. They are separate from the delivery record this step reads. Read the log of the live walk on 2026-10-08 · Read the receipt.
Use the Space name you chose in step 3. The delete command is needed because the cloned installer-record Unit carries the Target and Argo CD v3.5.4 cannot read it, a defect seen on cub v0.8.7 and server v0.8.9.
Without that line the walk deployed nothing and Argo CD showed Unknown, while every cub command exited 0. The walk ran the four commands in this order and did not try them without the first publish.
ConfigHub shows nothing when Argo CD fails to read a Release. Run kubectl -n argocd get applications.argoproj.io and read the Sync column, because Healthy alone is not a pass. Argo CD took between 18 seconds and about 5 minutes to read a Release on a cluster made without argobot.
The walk made its cluster with cub cluster up --no-argobot. That command creates two Spaces, a Worker, a Target and a Trigger, opens ports 30010 to 30019 on the machine, and installs Argo CD from an unpinned upstream manifest.
Removing the ConfigHub side does not remove the workload. In the walk, deleting the Application Unit and the Spaces left the Application and its pods running, because the root Application does not prune.
# clone the base onto a Target as a dev variant$ cub variant create dev <your-space> --target workshop/target --space-pattern "template:<your-space>-dev"
# publish the Release that the cluster's Argo CD pulls$ cub release publish <your-space>-dev
# delete the installer record, which Argo CD cannot read$ cub unit delete --space <your-space>-dev installer-record
# publish again without it$ cub release publish <your-space>-dev
5. Promote a change Partly run for this entry
A promotion ran for this entry. It ran the preview and the promote. The delete and the publish below have no recorded run for this entry. Promotion carries a change in the base to the dev variant. The base changes when you edit a Unit or upload a newer version into the same Space. Read the log of the live walk on 2026-10-08 · Read the record that states this.
The promotion changes the dev Space and publishes nothing. It also adds the installer-record Unit back with the Target. The change reaches the cluster only after the delete and the publish.
The preview lists the whole installer record as added. In the walk, the preview of a one-label change to gpu-operator ran to 405 lines, and about 400 of them were that record.
# preview what the dev variant would take from the base$ cub variant promote <your-space>-dev --dry-run -o mutations
# promote once you have read the preview$ cub variant promote <your-space>-dev --change-desc "Pull the reviewed base forward"
# delete the installer record that the promotion adds back$ cub unit delete --space <your-space>-dev installer-record
# publish the Release that carries the change$ cub release publish <your-space>-dev

Replace each value in angle brackets with a name of your own. The entry id may already exist as a Space in your organization, and the package name as a Component.
In the live walk, a Space named for the nginx entry's id and a Component named bitnami-nginx already existed, so the walk chose its own names. The --component flag sets the Component label the upload writes on the Space, which is the package name when you omit it.

4. Deploy it Not run for this entry
No delivery run is recorded for this entry. Argo CD has not run, Flux has not run, and kubectl has not run. The commands name the Target workshop/target, which cub cluster up --name workshop creates on a local kind cluster with Argo CD. Use your own Target for a real destination. The listing records 2 inputs that the destination must supply, so read them before you deploy. The coverage lanes record a local Kubernetes run and a GitOps OCI run for this base. They are separate from the delivery record this step reads. Read the log of the live walk on 2026-10-08.
Use the Space name you chose in step 3. The delete command is needed because the cloned installer-record Unit carries the Target and Argo CD v3.5.4 cannot read it, a defect seen on cub v0.8.7 and server v0.8.9.
Without that line the walk deployed nothing and Argo CD showed Unknown, while every cub command exited 0. The walk ran the four commands in this order and did not try them without the first publish.

2. Compare with another version or base Not available yet
The Catalog holds no other version or base of this entry's source in the same format. A second entry for bitnami/nginx in this format would give this step a sibling.
3. Upload it as a variant Partly run for this entry
The record holds a local, temporary or separately recorded upload for this entry, and no retained one. The listing names no public artifact for it, so no upload command is given. Read the record that states this.
4. Deploy it Partly run for this entry
A delivery is partly recorded for this entry, and no run has passed. Argo CD is recorded for a related object set, Flux is recorded for a related object set, and kubectl is recorded for a related object set. Read the receipt.
5. Promote a change Not available yet
This step needs an upload command from step 3, and this entry has none. A published artifact for this entry, with a receipt, would make this step available.
After You Render It
The first command writes files and does not apply them. Read the objects and setup requirements, then choose the next job.
cub plugin install confighub/homebrew-tap@cub-scan-v0.7.3 --name scan cub check --format json --output cub-check.json <work-dir>/out/manifests. The check is advisory and does not apply anything.
Apply the rendered manifests with kubectl, or publish reviewed objects as OCI
This worked example starts with a NGINX values file supplied by a person or coding agent. The requested change is three replicas. The same file also embeds an API key, removes the checked image digest, exposes a public LoadBalancer, and weakens three container security settings.
The review keeps the three replicas, restores the checked settings, and changes the Deployment to use an existing Secret. The proof freshly renders the locked chart, matches the catalog baseline, reports the six intended findings, packages the five reviewed objects as OCI, pulls them anonymously, and imports the same object set into ConfigHub. A live run then deploys that result through Argo CD. Development changes to four replicas, ConfigHub promotes the change to staging, and a second live run reaches 4/4 ready replicas.
The target Secret is still supplied separately. Flux, rollback, chart upgrade, and fleet rollout have not run for this configuration.
Repeat the local proof with HELM_EXPT_ALLOW_BYO_HELM_VALUES_PROOF=1 npm run byo-helm-values:run.

Lifecycle record
The current review found no separate hook or setup step for this base. Open the full record.
Prerequisites
This base has not yet been reviewed for required Secrets, CRDs, namespaces, values, storage services, external APIs, or target topology. Record what it needs, or record that nothing extra is required.
Next
Decide whether http clusterip is suitable for production. Resolve or document its outstanding live deployment check first.

We ran cub check v0.7.3 against the exact rendered objects for every configuration below. The result is advisory: read each finding and decide whether it matters for your target.
3 advisory findings 1 critical, 2 info IngressClass not found when Ingress specifies ingressClassName Deployment explicitly sets replicas to 1 emptyDir volume has no sizeLimit
What this does not check: hook execution, CRD readiness, target Secrets and cloud services, admission behavior, workload health, or rollback. The linked Catalog review covers chart-specific source and operating questions. ConfigHub validation and approval are separate managed controls.
A worked configuration for this chart starts with AI-written values. It records what each local finding meant, the fixes that were accepted, and one remaining emptyDir finding that is allowed only for an exact development and staging test.
The reviewed objects, decision, ConfigHub validation, approval, promotion, and Argo CD results remain separate records. That makes it clear which checks were local advice, which controls ConfigHub evaluated, and which targets actually ran.
Every reference below comes from the reviewed rendered output. What you see is what the cluster pulls. These references are data: you can change a registry or pin a digest with a recorded edit, and prove the change landed in every environment.
Some chart paths need a small preparation step before the cub path feels as smooth as Helm. We show those steps here so the first run does not surprise you.
Caveat
What to do
Universal caveats
Use declared inputs or bases instead of Helm --set. For direct delivery, define pruning and field-conflict behavior. Use Argo CD or Flux when that controller path and its pruning settings are recorded for the selected preset.
Shared placeholder password
No shared placeholder password caveat recorded for this chart.
CRD first-ordering
No CRD first-ordering caveat recorded for this chart.
Catalog supported with live evidence (render parity 2/2; Local live 2/2; Live parity 2/2)
Coverage
Covered
You must provide
an existing Secret for some bases (NOT built - chart ships no Secret toggle); target facts at variant time
What the tools record
exact rendered objects with render parity and receipts; generated Secrets separated out of the published artifact; optional chart inputs handled by reviewed base configurations; install-vs-upgrade render divergence captured per revision; cluster lookups lifted into declared target facts
Next action

Did this version string point at changed upstream bytes?
Not checked
No linked result
How much is proven, and what more testing would add: Fully proven: Render parity, ConfigHub proof, Local live, GitOps/OCI live, Live Helm-vs-ConfigHub. Not yet tested: Two-cluster kind - a fresh cluster run would prove these.

What We Tested On A Cluster
This is the result of a real run for one base variant on one recorded target setup. It does not silently extend the result to other bases or clusters.
Question
Recorded answer
Base variant
existing-tls-ingress
Target used
cub-managed kind proof cluster with target profile kind-ingress-nginx
Observed result
pass
What passed
regular Helm deployment path reached the expected runtime state ConfigHub direct-apply leg reached the expected runtime state ConfigHub OCI/Argo leg reached the expected workload runtime state Helm-vs-ConfigHub semantic parity passed for the OCI/Argo leg Argo CD reported the application Synced Argo CD reported the application Healthy Deployment nginx became ready target fact Secret nginx/nginx-ingress-tls was staged Ingress nginx/nginx received status.loadBalancer.ingress=localhost
What the result means
The previous watch row was target-fit, not parity. When the proof target includes the kind-ingress-nginx profile, the Ingress receives a localhost address and Argo reports Healthy.
What this does not prove
This row does not prove external ingress reachability on a real load balancer. This row does not prove certificate trust from an outside client. This row does not generalize to every ingress-enabled chart without a matching target-topology receipt.

Hooks, CRDs, And Setup Work
Some Helm charts need work before, during, or after apply: CRDs, hooks, setup jobs, webhook certificates, migrations, generated Secrets, or checks. For each chart, the catalog should make the choice clear: include it in the base variant, split it into a separate base variant, run a setup step, use a GitOps action where evidence exists, require an existing target resource, or block it when there is no safe default.
What each base needs before apply
These requirements come from the same base definition as the rendered objects. The render intent keeps the chart inputs, required Secrets or CRDs, lifecycle steps, and evidence together.
If no plan is shown, that does not prove the upstream chart has no hooks. It means the public catalog has no chart-specific action to show yet; check the matrix or send a problem chart if hook behavior should be modeled. Direct apply, Argo CD, Flux, and upgrade implementations are tracked separately. One passing implementation does not prove the others.
