Does this really need to be in the main ChannelFinder repository? Couldn't it be in another one?

[stan-dot]

you are right this need not be in this repo.
still the values can be overriden for a custom deployment.

Having the helm chart in the ChannelFinder repo would help potential users looking to deploy it - they would have one step less to worry about.

There is a precedent for that at DLS

Could have another repo inside ChannelFinder organisation, then a link to the repo inside this one. Seems a bit overkill to have to maintain: dockerfile, docker-compose file, helm chart and kubernetes configuration inside of the repository which is just for the application really.
Having it outside also means you could add recceiver into the kubernetes configuration, as usually these are heavily linked.

[stan-dot]

that would be a good setup. If you make that repo I'll close this PR and make a new PR to that repo

please add a barebones readme

@stan-dot I added a readme to the project.

[stan-dot]

thanks @jacomago

the PR is here ChannelFinder/kubernetes#1

it doesn't deploy correctly for now because the image is not pushed to the registry - I am working on it

[stan-dot]

arguably the Dockerfile is needed for that, and it would live in this repo - and this PR already has two dockerfiles - https://github.com/ChannelFinder/ChannelFinderService/pull/164/files#diff-dd2c0eb6ea5cfc6c4bd4eac30934e2d5746747af48fef6da689e85b752f39557

I'd be happy to put that in a separate PR ' make Dockerfile do build', not sure how it would play with the repo vision
