## Making changes

## Step 1. Make changes in charts and values.yaml in `manifests` directory

Be sure to provide sufficient documentation and example usage in values.yaml.
If the chart has a `values.schema.json`, that should be updated as well.

## Step 2. Update the istioctl/Operator values

If you are modifying the `gateway` chart, you can stop here.

# Istiod Helm Chart

This chart installs an Istiod deployment.

## Setup Repo Info

```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```

_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Installing the Chart

Before installing, ensure CRDs are installed in the cluster (from the `istio/base` chart).

This chart installs the Istio CNI Plugin. See the [CNI installation guide](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/additional-setup/cni/)
for more information.

## Setup Repo Info

```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```

_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Installing the Chart

# Istio Ztunnel Helm Chart

This chart installs an Istio ztunnel.

## Setup Repo Info

```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```

_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart:

```console
helm install ztunnel istio/ztunnel
```

## Uninstalling the Chart

```console
helm install istio-base -n istio-system manifests/charts/base --set profile=openshift
```

2) `istio-cni` chart installs the CNI plugin. This should be installed after the `base` chart and prior to `istiod` chart. Need to add `--set pilot.cni.enabled=true` to the `istiod` install to enable its usage.

```console
helm install istio-cni -n kube-system manifests/charts/istio-cni --set profile=openshift
```

# Istio base Helm Chart

This chart installs resources shared by all Istio revisions. This includes Istio CRDs.

## Setup Repo Info

```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```

_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `istio-base`:

```console

-- simplified configuration
-- multiple versions of the ingress can be used, to minimize upgrade risks

- the new chart uses the default namespace service account, and doesn't require
additional RBAC permissions.

- simplified label and chart structure.
- ability to run a pilot dedicated for the gateway, isolated from the main pilot. This is more robust, safer on upgrades
and allows a bit more flexibility.

	find ./manifests/charts/gateways/istio-egress/templates -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/Ingress/Egress/g' {} \;

	# external istiod remote cluster charts
	cp manifests/charts/base/templates/services.yaml manifests/charts/istiod-remote/templates
	cp manifests/charts/base/templates/endpoints.yaml manifests/charts/istiod-remote/templates

lint-yaml:
	@${FINDFILES} \( -name '*.yml' -o -name '*.yaml' \) -not -exec grep -q -e "{{" {} \; -print0 | ${XARGS} yamllint -c ./common/config/.yamllint.yml

lint-helm:
	@${FINDFILES} -name 'Chart.yaml' -print0 | ${XARGS} -L 1 dirname | xargs -r helm lint --strict

lint-copyright-banner:

The code automatically detects the proxyUID and proxyGID from RunAsUser/RunAsGroup and exclude them from interception, defaulting to 1337

### Overview

- [istio-cni Helm chart](../manifests/charts/istio-cni/templates)
    - `install-cni` daemonset - main function is to install and help the node CNI, but it is also a proper server and interacts with K8S, watching Pods for recovery.
