More options for standalone configuration

[jompu]

Related to issue: #705

Allow to set standalone configuration with chart values or by using existing ConfigMap.

This pull request will be wonderfull ! :-)

Something that could be interesting to add, we should name the configmap dynamically with the name of the relase (like most others k8s objects I think right now)

As of today we cannot have multiple releases of apisix in a single namespace because of this (conflict on the fixed apisix.yaml configmap name)

The 2.x development has changed from dev to master since I created this, so I have updated the branch to match latest master. And this pull request to merge into master.

@Gallardot Maybe you can help to get this forward also.

The chart is not usable in standalone mode without this.

hey folks o/

I'm facing the same issue, I needed to use strategicMergePatches in helmfile to rewrite the volume apisix-admin to use standalone mode with a custom configmap T_T

Can I do something to help this PR to move forward? :) @Gallardot

@Gallardot @exxbrain Can one of you help move this forward please?

As others have noted, in its current state, this Helm chart is unusable for standalone mode. This is particularly surprising because even the FAQs has details on how to deploy APISIX in standalone mode. And yes, the command used in the FAQ will deploy APISIX in standalone mode but won't let you configure routes or anything - essentially it will deploy a dummy APISIX that is not usable.

Hello !

This pull request is essential for ensuring a fully functional and easily deployable standalone mode.
As it stands, the current Helm chart configuration isn’t practical for automation or GitOps.

thanks,

I have moved to use Bitnami's APISIX helm chart, which is much more versatile and allows also standalone configuration.

EDIT: Bitnami chart is not an option anymore.

I am facing the same issue. As a quick work around after deploying the apisix, I am updating the apisix.yaml ConfigMap from another yaml file

@exxbrain what is the status on your review? It would be really helpful for us too!

Still relevant.

Meanwhile my workaround with helmfile

  - name: apisix
    namespace: apisix
    chart: apisix/apisix
    version: 2.11.5
    strategicMergePatches:
      - apiVersion: v1
        kind: ConfigMap
        metadata:
          name: apisix.yaml
        data:
          apisix.yaml: |-
            {{- .Values.apisix.apisix.standaloneConfig | toYaml | nindent 12 }}
            #END
      - apiVersion: apps/v1
        kind: Deployment
        metadata:
          name: apisix
          namespace: apisix
        spec:
          template:
            metadata:
              annotations:
                checksum/config: {{ .Values.apisix.apisix.standaloneConfig | toYaml | sha256sum }}

              # END
    values:
      - {{- .Values | get "apisix" (dict) | toYaml | nindent 8}}

@exxbrain @espizo Would it be possible to move forward with the review?
As seen in the comments on this PR, this feature would be appreciated by many.

Especially because Bitnami chart is not alternative option anymore.
