# 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

#### Legacy Gateway Helm charts

Istio historically offered two different charts - `manifests/charts/gateways/istio-ingress` and `manifests/charts/gateways/istio-egress`.
These are replaced by this chart.
While not required, it is recommended all new users use this chart, and existing users migrate when possible.

This chart has the following benefits and differences:

# 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

| IMPORTANT |
| -------------------------- |

# 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
```

	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:

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.
