Review a recorded configuration for valkey/valkey@0.11.0. Read its exact Kubernetes objects, required setup, and current evidence before you deploy it.
The first recorded configuration is default. Read its status before use; it is not yet a polished public example. The page does not claim every possible values combination.
Evidence labels: Pass has a linked result. Watch names a limit to check. Blocked means do not use that path yet.
Upstream: the Catalog fetched chart valkey from the Helm repository https://valkey.io/valkey-helm/ at version 0.11.0. find this chart on Artifact Hub · Helm documentation. This page adds checked configurations and test results.
Catalog readiness: Review before use.
Licenses: chart BSD-3-Clause (repository LICENSE file; the pulled Chart.yaml carries no license field); images: valkey BSD-3-Clause (upstream Valkey license).
This component is recorded as a successor to bitnami/redis. The BSD-3-Clause Valkey engine alternative. Both engines are offered so the license posture stays the reader's choice. Read the successor survey and the registry migration guide.
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 page names the work and says which delivery path has actually run.

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?
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?
No post-deployment result is recorded for this exact configuration. Publication, upload, or rendering is not proof that it ran correctly.
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 21 files.

Found
Why it matters when a chart ships as plain YAML
Helm hooks

Hook Jobs never fire, or fire under a different hook dialect.
Keep policy

A reconciler prunes what Helm promised to keep.
Test hooks

Test resources would ship to a cluster that never asked for them.
A flattening-safety verdict has decided this version: default:safe-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 default 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, default 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.
Review default before use. If a card says review or preparation is needed, treat that as a real limit rather than a ready install.

Readable version tag: oci://europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/nth-fort-499605-q5/helm-expt/valkey-valkey:0.11.0. The package is pinned so a republished tag cannot change what you get. The command below uses the exact manifest digest, so cub installer refuses different package bytes.
cub installer pull 'oci://europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/nth-fort-499605-q5/helm-expt/valkey-valkey:0.11.0@sha256:79a341b9ba34bf1de694eb2094ef19be67454f3783c6eea3792f651501b4808f' --work-dir ./package-review

The package's records/ directory connects every base to its source choices, Helm render intent, Kubernetes objects, prerequisites, lifecycle work, and checks. These are supporting records, not Kubernetes objects.
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.
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.

Current status: Available in the catalog · Reason: Promotion needs source and destination ConfigHub Spaces. It has not been tested for this configuration.
Use this entry in ConfigHub
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. 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.
What is fixed, and what you supply
Fixed when this entry was built. These went into the build, so the objects already carry them. To change one, build the entry again from its source.
chart is valkey/valkey
version is 0.11.0
base is default
valuesProfile is recipes/valkey/valkey/0.11.0/effective-values.yaml
namespace is default
releaseName is valkey
capabilityProfile is {"apiVersions":[],"kubeVersion":"1.30.0"}
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.
Test the plain objects.A second script tests the retained objects themselves with kubectl, and it needs no cub and no account. The Catalog ran it on a local cluster, and the log shows the run.
The Catalog rendered this entry and retains its 4 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 valkey-valkey-0-11-0-default.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confighub/helm-expt/main/recipes/valkey/valkey/0.11.0/revisions/default/r001/rendered/release-objects.yaml
# check the bytes against the listing$ shasum -a 256 valkey-valkey-0-11-0-default.yaml

# render this base from the signed package; step 3 uploads this directory$ cub installer setup --pull oci://europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/nth-fort-499605-q5/helm-expt/valkey-valkey:0.11.0@sha256:79a341b9ba34bf1de694eb2094ef19be67454f3783c6eea3792f651501b4808f --base default --work-dir ./valkey-valkey-0-11-0-default --non-interactive --namespace default
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 valkey/valkey in this format would give this step a sibling.
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 ./valkey-valkey-0-11-0-default --space <your-space> --component <your-component>
# list the Units the upload created$ cub unit list --space <your-space>
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. 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.
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 Not run for this entry
No promotion is recorded 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.
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
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
Each card is one available way to use this chart in the catalog. Some cards are runnable base variants. Others are candidate paths, derived variants, or review notes that explain what still has to be prepared.
Checks: Each card names what was checked and says whether it passed, needs review, was blocked, was not run, or was not needed.
try.sh renders, settles the prerequisites in order, and applies with kubectl; confighub.sh renders and uploads to your ConfigHub Space.

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.

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 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.
No chart-specific action is attached to this page yet. That is not a claim that the upstream chart has no hooks or setup work. It means the public catalog has no per-chart-base variant action to show here; check the catalog filters, the matrix, or send a problem chart if hook behavior should be modeled.
