Separate Helm generator from core?

[metacosm]

Helm generation should perhaps be dealt with in a way similar to the OLM generation, via a separate extension module.

@metacosm Do you think is possible to evaluate the usage of https://docs.quarkiverse.io/quarkus-helm/dev/index.html for the helm generation?

[metacosm]

I think as far as I recall we did evaluate it but the issue was that that extension bundles the operator as a regular app without taking the operator-specific needs into account. But it might indeed be worth revisiting. Is that something you'd be interested in exploring?

[mfvitale]

I did some tests to see the differences and there are many. So lot of the effort will be to test and compare the differences to see if, with a certain set of configurations, we can get a helm chart as much as possible to the current one.

Unfortunately, I have no time, as of now, to work on it. I have opened an enhancement fromthe Debezium perspective to try this. I'll keep you posted about the results.

Thank you!
