Changing helm values in kube.tf is not recognized

[hesyar]

When I change the helm values of cert-manager, lets say replicas from 3 to 4, and then do an apply, terraform claims that it couldn't find a change and the config seems to be same as on the servers but it isn't .

Expectation is that it knows rhat I changed that value and it should apply.

Indeed @hesyar, the helm values via terraform apply just on first run (we will edit the doc to clarify that). To do it, the best way to change them is via an helmchartconfig (more on this in the readme).

In your case, pull down the helmchart with kubectl get helmchart -A, find the name, and kubectl get helmchart <name> -n <namespace> -o yaml > cert-manager-helmchartconfig.yaml, then edit the resulting file by changing it to a helmchartconfig, both definitions follow the same format, just the custom resource name changes, see https://docs.k3s.io/helm.

If your case, you want to edit the helm values, so it goes under valuescontent, under the right section that you find in the helm values file.

Moving this to a discussion. Please let me know how it goes.

P.S. Always good to know about the kubectl get crds command, as you can really dive deep down how the whole cluster works.

Hi @mysticaltech thanks a lot. Got, it, I thought it would be better to have it configured through terraform but yes, applying the HelmChartConfig works properly. Thanks again!

Thanks, @hesyar! If you can mark the above as answer, it would be great! 🙏
