What this page gives you
Every chart page follows the same order. Choose a configuration, inspect its objects and setup work, then read the tests that have run. Open the worked examples.
The package fixes and checks almost everything at build time. What you set is small and typed.
Open the saved results for the Helm comparison, live install, and delivery checks.
The page names the work and says which delivery path has actually run.
What To Use
server-only-ephemeral configuration: 6 rendered objects · 2 images · 0 target prerequisites · 0 hook or setup routes · 5/5 checks passing. These counts come from the linked test records.

Four Separate Questions
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? | The destination has not been checked for this exact configuration. A recorded source or render result is not a destination pass. | Destination access: yes Selected configuration deployed: no | Not run no run recorded |
| Did it work? | No post-deployment result is recorded for this exact configuration. Publication, upload, or rendering is not proof that it ran correctly. | Destination access: yes Selected configuration deployed: yes | Not run no run recorded |
Open the complete assessment, source, lifecycle, and evidence record.
Where This Chart's Settings Come From
| Base variant | Helm values | ConfigHub changes | Install work |
| default | effective-values.yaml | 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. |
| server-only-ephemeral | effective-values-server-only-ephemeral.yaml | None in the catalog base. Later edits appear in ConfigHub Unit revision history or a derived variant. | No separate install work is required. |
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.
Read the full values-versus-ConfigHub rule. For the staging commands behind each prerequisite, open the prerequisite action packets.
What This Chart Contains
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 88 files.
| Construct | Found | Why it matters when a chart ships as plain YAML |
| Helm hooks | 1 | Hook Jobs never fire, or fire under a different hook dialect. |
| Capability branching | 4 | The chart chooses apiVersions from the cluster it renders against. |
| Condition-gated subcharts | 4 | What renders depends on which conditions the values switch on. |
| Test hooks | 1 | Test resources would ship to a cluster that never asked for them. |
A flattening-safety verdict has decided this version: default:safe-to-flatten; server-only-ephemeral:safe-to-flatten. The verdict records one disposition per construct and names any companion artifact a flattened bundle must ship.
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 server-only-ephemeral 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.

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, server-only-ephemeral 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.

Advanced: apply it or upload it
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.

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.
| Job | Next step |
| Render and inspect without applying | Run the recommended cub installer setup command above. |
| Run shared local configuration checks | 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 | Publish reviewed objects as OCI or apply the manifests with kubectl. |
| Save the reviewed result for a team | Save and upload the reviewed result to ConfigHub for shared history, exact diffs, and approvals. |
| Compare development and production, audit an exact diff, promote, or roll back | Build a promotion review or read the bounded rollback example. |
| Assign the configuration to clusters and operate a small fleet | Choose targets, preview a wave, and inspect every result. |
| Check delivery limits | Read the current limits before choosing kubectl, Argo CD, or Flux. |
| Handle CRDs on the first install | Read the CRD ordering risk and first-install guide, then check this chart's recorded owner and route. |
Prometheus Teaching Path
Use Prometheus when you want a familiar public chart without starting with Bitnami image questions. The server-only-ephemeral base is the small teaching path; the default base remains in the catalog for broader chart coverage.
Normal Helm
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm install prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus --version 29.8.0 --namespace monitoring --create-namespace
You should see Helm create a Prometheus release and Kubernetes objects in the namespace.
cub installer
cub installer setup --pull oci://europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/nth-fort-499605-q5/helm-expt/prometheus-community-prometheus:29.8.0@sha256:2e329a09d75c78f2b078df4314a18a7ef1259082bc7f0cca9a62642e62113af3 --base server-only-ephemeral --work-dir ./prometheus-server-only --non-interactive --namespace monitoring
You should see rendered manifests in the work directory, ready to inspect before delivery.
ConfigHub
cub installer upload --work-dir ./prometheus-server-only --space helm-prometheus-server-only
You should see Prometheus Units in ConfigHub. Derived variants can start from that uploaded base.

First-Run Caveats
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. |

What Has Been Tested
Choose the question you care about. Not checked means this catalog has no version-specific result; it is not a pass.
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.
| Base | Readiness | Render | ConfigHub | Local live | GitOps/OCI | Live parity | Two-cluster kind |

| default | render-only | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | missing |
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 | default |
| Target used | cub-managed kind proof cluster with ConfigHub OCI source |
| 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 ConfigHub OCI/Argo Application reached Synced/Healthy Helm-vs-ConfigHub semantic parity passed for the OCI/Argo leg Prometheus server Deployment, Alertmanager StatefulSet, node-exporter DaemonSet, kube-state-metrics Deployment, and pushgateway Deployment became ready |
| What the result means | The desired OCI artifact materializes Kubernetes StatefulSet defaults that Argo otherwise reports as drift after server-side apply. |
| What this does not prove | This review does not prove production Prometheus storage, retention, HA, backup, or alert routing policy. This review does not generalize to every StatefulSet chart without a matching live 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.
If no route 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.
Before Production
A green render or local live result is not a production support claim. Production support is target-scoped and uses the support-decision artifact when present.
| Field | Value |
| Production review status | Ready for a target-specific production review |
| Target-scoped support decision | supported |
| Supported base | server-only-ephemeral |
| Target scope | vanilla kind (historical receipt); namespace=monitoring; delivery=confighub-oci; controller=argo |
| Accepted limits | cluster RBAC review; optional input sources and scan policy; warning review and apply-gate policy |
| Open policy decisions | None recorded for this policy checklist |
| Next action | Keep the target-scoped evidence fresh before using this supported scope as a production-support example; create separate default-stack, persistent-storage, remote-write, scrape-customization, ingress, node-exporter, resource-hardened, or digest-pinned bases for real customer monitoring workloads. |
