helm-backstage

A Crossplane Configuration package that installs the Backstage developer portal Helm chart with a minimal, stable interface.

Overview

helm-backstage renders a single Helm release for Backstage. It exposes only the inputs needed for chart values, namespace, and release name, keeping the interface stable while allowing full Helm overrides.

Features

• Minimal Helm interface: values and overrideAllValues with stable defaults
• Predictable naming: defaults to <clusterName>-backstage in the backstage namespace
• GitOps friendly: ships a .gitops/ deploy chart

Prerequisites

• Crossplane installed in the cluster
• Crossplane providers:
  • provider-helm (>=v1.0.6)
• Crossplane function:
  • function-auto-ready (>=v0.6.0)
