Katenary

Effortless Helm Chart Conversion for Kubernetes Deployments

Why Katenary?

Simplify your deployment workflow by converting Compose files into production-ready Helm Charts with ease.

• Automated Conversion Generate complete Helm Charts from your Compose files effortlessly.
• Flexible Configuration Customize deployments with values.yaml and environment labels.
• Dependency Management Ensure proper service startup sequences using depends_on support.
• Open Source Free, opensource, under the MIT license!

How It Works Katenary simply read your compose.yaml file (or docker-compose.yaml) and use official libraries to read it and generate Kubernetes resources as YAML.

Then, it adds templating conditions, values file, define a Chart.yaml file, adapt dependencies if needed, and many others things.

Using configuration files to be mounted? No problem, Katenary will create ConfigMaps if you declared that thes directories or files are statics. (Do not do this for sources of your project, use it for simple configuration files)

The result is a complete "Helm Chart" that can be installed, configured, packaged and shared.

Katenary Workflow Almost everything can be overriden as Ingresses, Dependencies, values, environment variables, secrets...

1. Add optional labels to your Compose files.
2. Run katenary convert from the command line.
3. Deploy the generated Helm Chart in Kubernetes.
